Even if it would work, I doubt it would be helpful; as the storage space that 
makes up the virtual windows drive is spread across the physical disks in the 
iSeries.

So even though Windows might thing that data is contiguous, in reality it 
really wouldn't be.

As I think about it, it would seem that defragging would be useless on any 
system using non-mirrored arrays ( RAID 0 or RAID 5 for example ).
