galileo Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 @ MrRon & MrG When using "Defrag" or "Defrag Freespace" the result upon completion will frequently leave isolated or stranded used blocks on the drivemap and thus, I am assuming, on the actual drive. The "freespace" is not truly being defragged or "compacted". These stranded blocks are an issue as other files are saved to the drive and - much more importantly - as dynamic pagefile and/or MFT spaces grow these are by necessity fragmented around these stranded blocks. Can this issue be addressed so that freespace is in fact defragged - or alternatively "compacted"...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodpasture Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I was just coming to the board to post on this same issue. I've tried defragging several times and can't get my drivemap to be solid. It has a dozen or so mixed blocks scattered about. Any way to resolve this? @ MrRon & MrG When using "Defrag" or "Defrag Freespace" the result upon completion will frequently leave isolated or stranded used blocks on the drivemap and thus, I am assuming, on the actual drive.
