Onderwerp: Defrag question
When I defrag my computer, which I do at least once a week now, this is the message I get at the end:

Findings on C:

Diskeeper has completed a defragmentation run on this volume and there remain 1276 fragmented files and 3508 excess file fragments. (There were 4806 excess file fragments before the defragmentation run, and now there are 27% less.)

The average number of fragments per file is 1.03.

You should schedule Diskeeper to run considerably more often than it has been running to reduce the current fragmentation and maintain a lower level of fragmentation. This volume is moderately fragmented, with 50% of the total volume space available for defragmentation.

The number of excess and fragmented files never go down more than this - could someone tell me what's happening and what I can do?

Binabik: Diskeeper will almost never do a full defrag (only 1 fragment per file) because it's just not worth it.
Defrag is usefull when your disk is so fragmented that permance suffers greatly because reading large files will imply running from one sector to another half way accross the disk. However, if when you have large chunks, there comes a point when it is more time consuming to move such large chunks around than the performance gains you may get from it. If you look at that log in detail, you'll probably find out that most of the resulting fragments are large and that few files will be spread accross more than 3 or 4 fragments (except, maybe, for really big ones)

I think this is explained in greater detail in the application's help but that's the general idea.
Still, you can request a full defragmentation somewhere in the options, if I'm not mistaken...

Binabik: Also it sounds like your hard disk maybe to full. It's best to keep a good clean portion % wise so defragging has space to work.

(V): I thought the same but then he said 50% of the total volume was available... so I don't think that's it

pauloaguia: It can then take a few consecutive defrags to fix it.

I keep mine over 60 % and defrag even when it says it's ok if it looks like it's getting bad.

(V): It doesn't matter how often I defrag, the numbers stay about the same..... and I couldn't find an option for a full defrag.

Binabik: ... which windows are you using? Do you use a window washer and registry cleaner??

It helps to know to try and figure out why!
