I resized my system partition (primary, E: is assigned), and after that Defraggler v1.20 is not able to defragment it (though it was successful before).
It just moves reading square (the yellow one) from the right bottom corner, and keeps the writing square (the green one) in the right top corner.
It also says "Defragmenting (0%)" even after several hours of working.
I'm wondering if you are on the borderline of having sufficient free space left to carry out a defrag. The required amount is usually stated as about 12% of the drive size.
If you have some big files on that drive, Defraggler may not be able to find sufficient space to defrag them. Even though you've added System Volume Information to the exclude list, it's still taking up the drive space it sits on.
Do you have sufficient Restore Points to maybe delete all but the last one with Windows "Disk Cleanup", to free up some space.

Dennis,
thanks for the hint.
It could be so that I had a lot of large files on the drive and too small free space.
However today I've ran into the same problem on another drive, which has 34,5 GB free (25%) and only 15,7 GB in 13460 Fragmented Files.
Defraggler seems to stuck at writing (trying to write?) something to the first sector, while reading from other sectors chaotically.
I've disabled System Restore for this drive, but this change doesn't have any effect.
I don't know enough about the technicalities of defragging Anton to give you anything positive, but your debug logs will help the devs, and they do read these threads.
