Online defragmentation for ext4

And when the kernel is defragmented and LILO loads some other random blocks?

It doesn't matter.

LILO does not support ext4, if I'm not mistaken. Not even GRUB supports it in stable releasses. The GRUB2 development-version however does, but I understand it, it's not in any distribution. Their might be distributions that backported the ext4 support from GRUB2 to GRUB, I've not checked it.
