Long defrag!

• TDMS Defrag progress switch Question

  Starting in 2015 from LabVIEW (I think), there is a bundled with LabVIEW example that shows how to defragment a PDM file and get the status of the defragmentation process.  This example uses two screws again, one to enable and disable the indicator telling the defragmentation to provide status and other VI to actually get the progress.

  My current design is through an actor architecture where each test site will be a reentrant VI manages journaling of the criterion on this location.  And I wanted to get this actor of logging check to see if the file is fragmented and defragment it periodically.  I join defragment at the end of the trial.  I thought I had a this defragmentation progress would be a great feature, but with these two screws being undocumented, I don't know how they will work when there are parallel processes potentially also defrags on other files.

  My question is in what regards progress switch turning off.  For progress should be submitted, you must turn on the switch, then you can read the current status and in the example, it shows the turning off of the switch.  But if I'm defragmentation with a progress bar in a parallel process, turn off the switch it disables all files and this isn't what I want.  What impact could I see so if I leave the switch of defragmentation on throughout the life of the application?  A small example of what I'm hearing is attached.  It generates two files, one who takes one longer defrag than the other, but they both start at the same time.  If I turn off the switch when the first stops, then progress will be not indicated for the second file.  I'm okay leaving activated forever?  Or do I need to track which files are to be defragmented and turn off the switch when they are all done?

  Either way, the lack of documentation on these features exist in 2016.

  As you have found that if you turn off the switch of progress, may not be all the defrags for different files. Leaving eanbled forever is good, but can do a little slower for the case of not having to view the progress of the defragmentation.

• Why defragment my option is no longer available on Windows XP?

  Hi all

  Basically, I defragment my hard drive (C :) it several days ago and the electricity supply was abruptly cut off half feel, though.) Since then, I tried several times to use the app and I got a message saying:

  MMC cannot open the file. It is perhaps because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. Perhaps it is also because you don't have sufficient access to the file.

  First of all, I am the administrator of my computer.

  Second, I tried a method suggested by:

  un) by clicking on START , then on RUN;

  b) type C:\Windows\Inf and click on OK.

  ( c) a click on the file defragmentation (because dfgr.inf is not on the menu that appears !);

  d) and then finally clicking on INSTALL.

  The defrag icon always in Start Menu/accessories/tools system and yet, nothing IS seems to have changed! As a result, the same message (see above) appears!

  Can anyone help me, or possibly shed light on what can happen and if I can eventually get it back?

  Thank you very much

  Bruce.

• Registry Defrag no longer works

  I don't know if it is a virus, but at the time I built my rig, in July, six months ago registry defrag System Mechanic would work. The countdown was going to happen, then he'd do his thing and I would like to use my computer. Then, what is going to happen, a month ago it started, is Sys Mech registry defrag to start the countdown during start, it starts, then it would just go to the login screen. I thought that Sys Mech was the problem, and I took it. I lived without a cleanup for a little utility, and then I was the Glary Utilities free version. I ran everything, and I saw the registry defragmentation. I wanted to see if it would work, and, like Sys Mech, said that a restart is required. When I did, it does the same thing. However, Glary had a countdown of abandonment. He just went in front, and then in a split second he just jump to the login screen. Glary did make a popup after the connection, saying that this was Defrag, but scared me, he can do the same thing as Sys Mech, with the running registry defragmentation and jumping at every boot, so I just uninstalled. I'm reinstall Sys Mech and I won't just defragmenting, but nobody knows why this could happen? I use Windows 7 and I have AVG Full edition as my antivirus. Thanks for any help!

  Two things...
  1} your registry database didn't need Defrag.
  2} your question would be with the manufacturer of software - not Microsoft/Windows.

• How to defragment the system disk?

  On my HP Windows 7 computer, the system drive access to the Disk Defragmenter tool showed a growing fragmentation since I bought the computer about 14 months ago. Despite the warning that only discs which can be defragmented appear, the entrance to the system drive refuses to defrag (all other defrag properly). The system drive now shows fragmentation of 26%, so there is obviously files being written and rewritten on this subject. Unless I'm missing something, the reader certainly require defragmentation. But how to do?

  I also use Diskeeper 2010 (version Professional first) and it keeps all my system files defragmented - I don't know it would deal with the problems you encounter (you can try a fully functional version for 30 days to see what it will do for you).

  It is very reliable and I have never had any problems with it whatsoever (the company has been around for a long time and they have great technical support if necessary).

  In my opinion, it's the best defragmentation solution available because it runs in the background (so you can use the computer while it defrags) and it also prevents the fragmentation. I suggest you to get the test and try - you can learn more about it at http://www.diskeeper.com/

  There is a free offer here for the full Pro first 2011 version of Diskeeper. [Edit - the last of the free copies are spoken for.]

• How do I defragment my hard drive?

  I have a Mid 2010 Mac OSX 10.8.5 installed Pro. I tried to do the upgrade to El Capitan but wanted to make a backup of the system before I upgraded. I want to do the backup on my external hard drive I use Time Machine to make backups on. I have a 500 GB Seagate Free Agent external hard drive. I've trashed a LOT of old files on this subject so I expect to see a lot of room open upward after that I did own upward. When I started, I saw that there were some 40 available 500 GB. After that I trashed (and emptied the Recycle Bin), there are a few available 85 GB. I remember the years there, I used to defragment some of my hard drives, but it is a long time over ten years ago. Would it not useful to do that to my free Agent drive to win more space? And if so, where can I find this information on the defragmentation?

• How to do a defrag (I think that's what you call)?

  How to do a defrag (I think that's what it's called)

  on an IMac computer

  There usually no need to do a defrag, as long as you keep a decent amount of free space on the disk (the boot volume).  The system works defragmentation for smaller size in the background files and large files fragmented usually has no performance impact.  The most important is the free spacefragmentation; performance can suffer if any of your remaining free space is in small fragments scattered on your storage media.  This happens more severely if the amount of free space on your startup disk starts to become really low, and you continue to use your system in this way.

  To do a defrag, you need a third-party utility such as Tech Tool Pro.  I don't know what version of the operating system of the Mac you're using. be sure to check the system requirements.  It's a very good idea to create a backup complete, like a clone bootable on an external drive, before using one of these utilities to Defrag.  If something happens, like a your Mac turns off my mistake during defragmentation, the disc may be damaged.  And you also need to be started from another disk to defragment your drive boot, so using the bootable backup to run defragmentation is a way.

  It can be useful if you provided more information, such as your iMac model and the version of the OS.  And also WHY you ask this question.

• TDMS defrag modifies the permissions of files

  Hello everyone.

  So after a lot of noise and stress, I've finally isolated an interesing issue that occurs when you use the PDM defragments vi.

  For some reason, deframenting a PDM with the PDM file defragment vi in windows XP resets, file permissions to allow full access to:

  -Administrator

  -Administrators

  -SYSTEM

  and removes all other permissions...

  So, she removes the file "Full Access" permission for "Everyone", which is necessary to allow other computers on the network to change your files.

  This means that my satellite computers can no longer save on my server after I have defragment PDM files unless I have manually add a 'full access' for 'All' permission for all the tdms files.

  Does anyone know why the PDM defrag vi do that? Its very annoying and throw a big key in my attempts to complete automation.

  Thank you!

  You reason that TDMS defragment modifies the permissions of the .tdms file, I can also see this on my machine. Maybe it's because the node to defragment will generate a temporary file .tdms in the system TEMP folder, when the defragmentation process is complete, she copy and replace the original file by the file that is defragmented to the TEMP directory, the file in the original location is replaced and the permissions of the original file are lost.

  However, there is always a solution to your problem, we can use the Exec System node in LabVIEW to invoke the 'CACLS' command to set the "everyone" permission back. The diagram below shows how to set the "Everyone" permission for .tdms all files in a directory recursively:

  

  Please refer to the VI as an attachment for the detail, the 'CACLS' command is available under XP.

• What is chkdsk /f.? Small happen when I try to defragment, how can I get rid of this?

  When I'm trying to do a disk defragment, I get a message that /f chkdsc.  is planned.  I don't know what it is, how do I get rid of it or go around it, defragment my disk?   Thank you!

  When you try to defragment a volume and Disk Defragmenter reports:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
   
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

  You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

  This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

  Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

  Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review is therefore a waste of time - that is not the problem.

  A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

  If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

  If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

  You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

  The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

  You will be not also solve this problem by editing your registry database (pay attention technical support engineers and moderators of Forum)-is not the problem.

  Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

  If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

  If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.  If your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit.

  Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

  You can manually program the disk with error correction check to run at the next reboot of the system, but if the dirty bit has been set, XP should run check disk automatically with error correction during the next reboot.

  This is usually the case that after a reboot, the problems will be resolved since XP will automatically run check disk on the Sales volumes when it restarts.  If you do not check that the chkdsk results of newspapers after his execution on a restart, you will never know what problems are corrected or remain.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the Tools menu of disk properties, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk.
  These files can be access only by restarting Windows.  You want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time that you restart Windows?

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the command prompt window, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.
  Cannot lock the current drive.

  Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
  process.  You want to schedule this volume to be
  check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When XP restarts, let the disc over to check and correct the problems, he could find.  Do not interrupt the disk check.  It can take a long time (hours or days) to complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  If there is a problem with the chkdsk command that works on reboot and it doesn't really seem to do something (too fast) or not to clear the dirty bit (check the dirty bit again), the command chkdsk which took to restart results in the Event Viewer Application log.  Look there to see what happened.

  When chkdsk runs automatically reboot, you may wonder where to find the results.  The results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.

  You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Look in the Application log for a proposed Winlogon event, something like this successful race:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001
  Description:

  Checking file system on C:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.

  A disk check has been programmed.

  Windows will now check the disk.
  39070048 KB total disk space.
  25151976 KB in 78653 files.
  48256 KB in 10264 index.
  0 KB in bad sectors.
  237080 KB in use by the system.
  65536 KB occupied by the log file.
  13632736 KB available on disk.

  Windows has finished checking your disk.

  If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, you must run the disk checking with correction of error again (chkdsk/r) until you see no error.  You should have no errors.  Check again the dirty bit.

  If the chkdsk command that runs on every reboot XP does not clear the dirty bit, you must run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console and see if that will clear things upward.  It is a good idea because you can watch chkdsk as it works and see the results on your screen instead of looking in the event viewer connects or wondering what happened (she also just 'feels' better when we see that it works).

  If you have no authentic XP bootable installation CD to boot into the XP Recovery Console, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console, and then run chkdsk /r manually.

  Need instructions on how to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console to run chkdsk/r manually?
