Yes: Dont waste your time looking for one because you dont need one.
Linux does a very good job of keeping directories/files where they belong. Each file gets assigned an inode (read index-node) that keeps files at the address they are first given. Unlike windows they dont get plopped into the first empty bit of space it finds.
