Is it OK to defragment the disk with SQL on it?

Has anyone defragmented the disk running RMS and the SQL database? Is there any issue with doing defragmentation of a disk running a database on it?


Shouldn't be any problem. I've done it several times and never noticed any issues. If I'm not mistaken Windows does some minor defragmentation in the background all the time anyway.
