Writing in Reserved MFT Space


some guy

Recommended Posts

So I just had a quick defrag of my largely fragmented files (Thanks Defraggler for making it possible!!) but it seems to have written some files into the Reserved MFT space. I can't see this as correct as sure it should be reserved. Got a pic to show, look at the green blocks and where they are in the MFT space.

 

Don't think i have a debug log, fraid I'm not using debug mode currently. I'll turn it on and see if i can catch it in the action again.

To me it just looks like either there is a gap in your MFT space (?), or it's actually defragging your MFT. Even though MFT is specifically made to prevent fragmentation, it happens occasionally. And on those occasions, to the program, it looks the same as a fragged file does. So I wouldn't worry, especially if it didn't damage your system in any way.

All posts that have a beginning must have an end, Mr. Anderson.
