What do you do about the fragments that it fines? Will it defragment the disk? That would be useful.

Tech Tool Pro 4 does a very nice job of defragging under their optimization routine, in addition to many other useful tests. TTP allows you to examine any disk/volume/partition before defragging to see how badly fragmented your storage area may be, however, it does not show you *what* types of file are fragmented ( i.e. cache files, etc. ) like this utility does.Tuesday, July 12 2005 @ 08:46 AM PDT

Basically, one surefire way to defrag any hard disk is to clone it onto a Firewire hard drive, boot to some other volume, format your fragged drive, and re-clone it right back. At least, I haven't seen a defrag utility capable of running to completion on any of my Macs for years. Such a beast may exist, but I stopped looking for it, frankly. Also, IIRC Apple's HFS+ file management is supposed to do a fairly decent job of reclaiming released disk space, so fragmentation is (allegedly?) not as big an issue as once it was.Reply to This
