This is about the best explanation I've ever seen, even if it a
couple of years old now:

Just to make this clear, this page explains the linux kernel does
reordering reading/writing on the disc, which, among other things, takes
care of the fragmentation problem; this is done by linux 2.4 (probably
also by linux 2.2) and linux 2.6
