Hello,
I was trying to move a certain file to my H drive, but got an error message that it was too fragmented to move it there. So I did a defragmentation. After waiting for nearly 7 hours (I can't see how it says it can take "up to few hours"), it finally got done. So I tried again, and again, the same error message. So I go to command line and type in to analyze H drive. Here's its statistics:
Defragmentation report for volume H: STUFF
Volume size = 117 GB
Cluster size = 512 bytes
Used space = 91.03 GB
Free space = 26.39 GB
Percent free space = 22 %
File fragmentation
Percent file fragmentation = 56 %
Total movable files = 16,457
Average file size = 6 MB
Total fragmented files = 1,191
Total excess fragments = 385,837
Average fragments per file = 26.89
Total unmovable files = 5
Free space fragmentation
Free space = 26.39 GB
Total free space extent = 251,323
Average free space per extent = 110 KB
Largest free space extent = 167 MB
Folder fragmentation
Total folders = 1,560
Fragmented folders = 1
Excess folder fragments = 0
Master File Table (MFT) fragmentation
Total MFT size = 34 MB
MFT record count = 28,072
Percent MFT in use = 80
Total MFT fragments = 2
After doing a WINDOWS defragmentation, 26.89 average fragments per file!!!
So I typed to force a full defragmentation of H in command prompt. The results:
Defragmentation report for volume H: STUFF
Volume size = 117 GB
Cluster size = 512 bytes
Used space = 91.03 GB
Free space = 26.39 GB
Percent free space = 22 %
File fragmentation
Percent file fragmentation = 42 %
Total movable files = 16,457
Average file size = 6 MB
Total fragmented files = 42
Total excess fragments = 317,305
Average fragments per file = 22.29
Total unmovable files = 5
Free space fragmentation
Free space = 26.39 GB
Total free space extent = 258,619
Average free space per extent = 107 KB
Largest free space extent = 167 MB
Folder fragmentation
Total folders = 1,560
Fragmented folders = 1
Excess folder fragments = 0
Master File Table (MFT) fragmentation
Total MFT size = 34 MB

Percent MFT in use = 80
Total MFT fragments = 2
Still 22.29... what's wrong???
