Defraggler never stops

[Firip]

When I defrag my 1.5 TB drive (on Win7 x64) Defraggler seems to to a good job (latest version).

 

But after a loooong time, Defraggler finally reports 100% done... but is still working...somehow.

The file display shows changing files as if Defraggler is working on them but these seem to be a set of about 50 files that rotate and Defraggler never stops.

When I stop manually and check again for fragmentation I get only three files reported. Manually defragmenting per right-click does the job in seconds.

 

So it seems there is a kind of loop that prevents Defraggler from finishing.

Sorry for not being able to be more specific, hope that helps anyway.

If you are able to reproduce this event I am sure the devs would like to see a debug log of it.

 

Instructions here on how to do it, then you could just attach the log in a post.

Sorry, but I'm not feeling comfortable with sending a complete debug log.

But thank you for the info, I ran Defraggler in debug mode and basically it's the same thing that happens over and over until I pull the plug:

I have millions of those "Fragment of unmovable file \$LogFile" things in my debugfile.

And the whole time the display said: Defragmenting (100%), 12 fragmented files (6,7 MB) in 24 fragments, 0% fragmented
