The Linux kernal is way too bulky and feature ridden for a mission critical use like this. They need something tiny, highly optimized and with as few failure modes as possible. Simple and easy to diagnose yet rock solid.

Anyway, defragmentation is entirely a Windows mistake. Real operating systems don't write data to a disk in such a sloppy way.
