[Slow defragmentation for small files]

... and everything is alright with your disk ?

Did you check the SMART-Values ? (Santé)

Try to Benchmark the disk using e.g. HDtune (free Version) ...

So what - just because it does not need defragging does NOT prevent it being read from one region and written to another region of the disk.

that's clear ... but you still not understand the reason why I asked my question

If you want a definitive answer from a developer you may need to pay the license fee for the PRO support.

that is not a big problem ... but I (in the old days as a developer) was glad to get Information about bugs or flaws

Derek81 & Alan_B: thanks for your answers, but that doesn't fit to my problem ... all that is known and understood

 

I think it is difficult to describe my problem with understandable words ... and I guess the question can only be answered by a developer

 

 

Starting a defrag I saw after the analyzation that there are less than 10 fragmented files, some minutes later the drive-map showns lots of yellow squares (yes, that are frgaments that are read) and one big green bar (that's the target where the defragmented file was written to)

 

This was shown for more than 1 Minute because it was a big file.

 

The shown file name In the Status section was Outlook.pst ... but this file was not in the list of files to be defragged (Tab File list)

 

I think there are two alternatives:

 

1. The yellow squares showed the fragments of Outlook.pst ... but than this file was missed in the file list ----> Bug!

2. the yellow squares belongs to one of the files in the file list ... than the shown file name ist wrong, maybe it shows the not-fragmented file that was last recently moved for free space defragmentation ---> minor flaw

Yes, that's clear ... but it doesn't fit to the observed behaviour that was the reason of my question ...

 

Sorry, I didn't describe it in my first post

 

I defraged a partition with a few but heavily fragmented files. Then I saw lots of small yellow (read) and one big green (write) bar, but the shown filename was not NOT in the list of fragmented files (and I think it was only moved but not defraged). This was not changed for more than one Minute.

 

So I think the filename shows the last recently processed file

Hi,

 

what filename is shown in the status section during a defrag?

Is it the currenty processed file?

 

Cheers,
