It seems like defraggler can't list all the files on non-system drive, thus leaving several stray files untouched. I can't figure out why it does that. There's nothing wrong with file permissions/ownership, path of the files, files are not being opened by system, they are not metadata files, they are not alternate data streams.... It has trouble reading/cathalogizing files in random folders. Moving the folder seems to jolt something and once again defraggler can read the contents of it.

Thanks. Didn't know that. That will help alot.

I have (not using at the moment, but do have) extra IDE controller PCI card. Simultaneous defragging using embedded and extra HD controller would improve speed of total defragging, but my embedded controller handles all 5 drives (2 IDE, 2 SATA + 1 external) simultaneously with ease. Real bottleneck would be CPU. But that's not the point. My point is I want to defrag all drives at once and leave them defragging unattended. Schedule is not my preferred choice.

As the name suggests, it is in dire need of it.. I myself have 5 HDDs ATM and such feature would improve the overall practicality of the tool.

I have several hard drives (all NTFS-formatted) and on one of them my $MFT reguralry gets moved by defraggler (and fragmented, because it doesn't move whole file) while running in "standard" mode (not boot time defragging). Is it a bug, or what?
