[Boot-time defrag does not defrag pagefile.sys nor hiberfil.sys]

You don't need a live CD just turn hibernation off and on this forces Windows to recreate hiberfil.sys

It's the same trick you can do with virtual memory, just change the values slightly and Windows recreates pagefile.sys

OK, thanks for the tip.

 

Hi,

 

boot-time version of Defraggler defrags the pagefile.sys. Hiberfil.sys file is not supported right now.

 

Best regards

OK, so I guess I'm facing a bug when pagefile.sys is not boot-time-defragmented.

hi redhawk,

 

Yes, I hibernate often ; but I worked around this problem by booting on some live cd, and removing pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys. Usually, upon reboot, Windows recreates them in a single piece each.

 

But basically, I was not wondering about workarounds, but about what seem 1. a bug (pagefile.sys not defragged while Defraggler says it did) and 2. a missing feature (Defraggler does not seem to know that a boot-time defrag of hiberfil.sys would be a cool defragging feature) to me.

Mmmmh no reaction... could it be that I'm the only one with this issue ?

I should add that, the boot-time screen does not even indicate it processes hiberfil.sys.

Hi everyone,

 

First, as this is my first post, I'd like to thank Piriform for its great softwares.

 

A question I've been wondering since boot-time defrag has been introduced into Defraggler : on every computer I tested it, Defraggler does _not_ defrag pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys, even if, at the boot-time screen (white text on black background), it says something like "pagefile.sys... done".

 

I browsed the help site and the forum, to no avail.

 

Am I missing something ?
