Results after Defrag

[gkdiamond]

Hi,

 

I read the Defraggler documentation on this site but it does not say anything about results. I am not understanding the after results.

 

Before Defrag

 

Analysis Results:

3,125 Fragmented Files (43.9GB)

8,868 Total Fragments

50% Fragmentation

 

After Defrag

 

Current State:

21 Fragmented Files (42.7GB)

97 Total Fragments

48% Fragmentation

 

I assume the 21 fragmented files are locked system files but how can it be 42.7GB and what is the percent (%) fragmentation in reference to?

 

Thanks

system files would be my guess as well, hibernation file, pagefile, restore points, just to name the most obvious.

have you tried running DF with Stop VSS option ticked and Exclude restore point file & Exclude hibernation file options both ticked?

 

your 48% fragmentation is the ratio of bytes of frag'd files to used bytes of disk space.

That would mean that 3,104 fragmented files were only 1.2GB of the total 43.9GB and 8,771 total fragments was only 2% of the total 50% and the other 21 fragmented files with 97 total fragments are the majority. That may be right but it sure does not look right!

No but after I install the latest version I will select those options and then run it again.

my guess is restore points are the bulk

seems weird but likely the case.

Checking the VSS, restore points and hibernation options brought the after defrag down to 0%.

glad you figured it out
