	Maintaining Windows 2000 Through Defragmentation
		Defragmentation is the process of rewriting non-contiguous parts of a file to contiguous sectors on a disk for the purpose of increasing data access and retrieval speeds.
		You should perform disk analysis and defragmentation on a regular basis for all Windows 2000–based servers and workstations to ensure that disks are operating optimally.
		After defragmenting a disk, Disk Defragmenter may still report: "It is recommended that you defragment this disk." This indicates that there is too little free space to effectively perform the defragmentation routine.

	Processor Editorial Article - What’s So Important About Defragmentation? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Colleen Toumayan, director of public relations for defragmentation software developer Diskeeper, says that “despite all the advances of recent times, the disk remains the weak link.” The explosion in data storage and in the massive sizes of today’s modern disks, she notes, means this link grows weaker and “.
		The problem with defragmentation in the data center is that while it’s a necessary administrative task to perform, it must be automated in some way for it to be feasible.
		Defragmentation software may not be the panacea to cure all of your data center performance ills.

	Defragmentation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The reorganization involved in defragmentation does not change logical location of the files (defined as their location within the directory structure).
		Another common strategy to optimize defragmentation and to reduce the impact of fragmentation is to partition the hard disk(s) in a way that separates partions of the file system that experience many more reads than writes from the more volatile zones where files are created and deleted frequently.
		Defragmentation programs often come bundled with an operating system (although Windows NT notably did not include one).

	Disk Defragmenter in Windows 2000: Maintaining Peak Performance Through Defragmentation
		Defragmentation is the process of rewriting non-contiguous parts of a file to contiguous sectors on a drive for the purpose of increasing data access and retrieval speeds as well as overall system performance.
		The Disk Defragmenter cannot take advantage of this space by moving files into the MFT zone, therefore when you calculate the amount of free space available for defragmentation, you must subtract one-eighth, or about 12 percent, from the free space reported by Windows Explorer.
		By not following a regimen of routine defragmentation to maintain peak performance, the condition of your drives or volumes could degrade to the point where they cannot be effectively defragmented, resulting in the need for some other form of drastic action to return the system to optimum performance levels.

	Defragmentation tools
		When there is not enough space to store the file in a single contiguous block of space, the file is stored in a several nonadjacent blocks on the disk.
		Defragmentation tool fights this by relocating files to occupy contiguous blocks.
		Defrag tools are designed in such a way that a power failure during defragmentation run does not lead to data corruption (or at least the damage is well contained).

	defragmentation - a Whatis.com definition
		Defragmentation is the process of locating the noncontiguous fragments of data into which a computer file may be divided as it is stored on a hard disk, and rearranging the fragments and restoring them into fewer fragments or into the whole file.
		Defragmentation reduces data access time and allows storage to be used more efficiently.
		Windows NT did not come with a defragmenter because its file system, NTFS, was designed to minimize fragmentation; however, NT users often find one necessary and several vendors provide defragmenters.

		Similarly, the disk defragmentation process lifts all the file data on the hard drive, reassembles all the pieces of each and every file, and lays each of them back down on the hard drive intact.

		A small Diskeeper system tray icon appears whenever the defragmentation engine is running on remote PCs and provides individual users with the option of the delaying the maintenance until later in the day or evening (although it's often not necessary if I/O Smart is running.

		After you perform an offline defragmentation on a domain controller, the defragmented Ntds.dit file may be larger than the original Ntds.dit file.
		Offline defragmentation is intended to reclaim unused space in the file system by defragmenting the Ntds.dit file and removing unused portions of the database.
		Additionally, the offline defragmentation process may cause additional space that is not reclaimed to be allocated.

	X-bit labs - Articles - Testing Hard Disk Drives with Defragmentation Utilities
		This time searching for new utilities brought me to the world of defragmentation (defragmentation is a certain arrangement of the files on the HDD so that to speed up their access).
		Defragmentation time can be set up according to your preferences and needs, by changing the partition size and the initial level of files fragmentation.
		Each of these utilities features its own defragmentation algorithm (which may often be patented), and they are very likely to comply very well with the HDD firmware algorithms and their platters geometry.

	Inside Windows NT Disk Defragmenting
		NT 4.0's defragmentation support is based on file system control (FSCTL) commands, which are a form of device I/O control commands that are intended specifically for file systems.
		This is generally the first FSCTL that is used by a defragmenter, because it is required to get a map of the clusters that are free and in use on a volume.
		It is used to move the clusters of a particular file to a currently unallocated position on the volume.

	Computer Performance: Defragmentation
		These programs vary in complexity but the most basic feature is to find files that are not in one piece, they are fragmented and scattered about the hard drive.
		The rule of thumb is to have at least 15% of hard drive space free for maximum defragmentation performance.
		Clue: Disk defragmentation not only speeds up how fast your computer can read files but also improves writing times by making free space on the harddrive contiguous.

	FRS: Disk Defragmentation Causes Excessive FRS Replication Traffic
		The number of files in the staging folder constantly grows, and then empties after the disk defragmentation utility is completed, or the FRS schedule opens to allow replication.
		This behavior occurs because defragmentation is an on-line operation (the volume is not locked) and the file cache may actually contain modified data for a given byte range of the file if a user was writing to the file while the defragmentation process was underway.
		In the short term, disable disk defragmentation routines to stop FRS updates from generating and allow the staging folders to empty.

	Registry Defragmentation ( registry repair \ registry optimizer \ registry fix \ cleaning registry \ registry clean )
		After defragmentation your registry will acquire linear structure which will reduce application response time and registry access time.
		Do not worry if sometimes after defragmentation the registry will become smaller only by 1-5%, the key is not in size but in its linear structure, hence it determines access time.
		You should perform defragmentations regularly, because registry's linear structure is quickly lost and as the time runs on it only becomes more non-linear.

	Background disk defragmentation with DIRMS and Buzzsaw
		It is also something of a chore to schedule defragmentation cycles with the program without the use of a third-party script or utility.
		DIRMS is a command-line application designed to perform defragmentation of a drive with specific attention towards some of the limitations of the built-in defragmenter.
		Buzzsaw, the companion program, is a defragmenter that only defragments files that have been freshly defragmented, and is designed to run silently in the background.

	How to use defragmentation utilities with GoBack enabled
		Because the Gobackio.bin file is configured to prevent other programs from accessing it, this can prevent the defragmentation program from running correctly.
		If there are large numbers of disk writes by a defragmentation program, because GoBack must keep track of these writes, this could fill up the GoBack history file, and make it impossible to revert your system or recover recently-changed files.
		The Executive Software Diskeeper defragmentation feature also defragments the Gobackio.bin file, which causes the system to experience Delayed Write or Disk Write Errors.
