Why?  What's the harm in running it on a disk where it's been run
already? 

It's not like it takes a long time, and the only way to
ensure that it's been run would be to check each file of interest for
the nomove attribute, and declaring the device safe for a defragmenter
if and only if each file of interest has been set /NOMOVE.
