something odd with "move large files to end"

Defraggler
1

Hello - I have a 120GB partition with 17.6 GB free. I have some media and game files that vary in size from 300MB to 1.5 GB.

In the settings, I chose "move large files to end of drive" and I set a minimum file size of 349MB. Also added a couple of

"file types" to the table.

The defrag reaches 9% and I can see some files have indeed been moved to the very end of the space, but not all of them.

The program seems stuck (very little disk activity), and opening Task Manager, I can see that it's using 50 % of the CPU (the whole of one core).

I'm using the latest version, 206.

How long did you leave the defrag going for? What file was Defraggler having particular trouble with? Did you have other programs running? Were you fiddling with the hard drive during the defragmentation process? It could just be that you have a file that is incredibly large and incredibly fragmented in which case the only solution is to just wait and let Defraggler finish.

After moving some files to the end of space as I mentioned, I let it run for a further 15 minutes during which there was

little to no HDD activity (the HDD light was not on except for occasional flicker) and cpu was maxed out on one core.

My biggest file may be 2GB, but I have about 15 GB free at end of the drive (as I mentioned 17% free).

In fact, I reduced the "maximum file size" in the settings to 250 MB and restarted it and it ran OK for about a minute,

moved 2 or 3 more files to the end of the disk and then repeated the behavior I described above.

EDIT it occurred to me that the files I'm trying to get the program to move to the end of the disk based on their

size may already be defragged, but at the start/middle of the disk - should/will the program still move them?
