IOSmartDefrag 1.02 Hangs

[Hans38]

I have just downloaded the latest versionof IOSmartDefrag (1.02). I have set the options to ignore large files over 1GB. The software has been hung on the same file for over 18 hours now and refuses to move on. I had no problems earlier with Releases 1.0 and the Beta. Additionally, the software refuses to stop. Not sure what the issue is; but I am forced to reboot the machine to clear the software from operating.

Same here: I just installed 1.02 and this problem comes up: hanging at "Analyzing 99%". I did never see this problem under 1.01.

As a consequence, SmartDefrag cannot be stopped, it keeps analyzing and hanging. It doesn't seem to be hanging on a specific file, it just never finishes and is no more reponsive.

 

This only happens in Defrag & Optimize mode. Defrag alone seems to work correctly.

IOSmartDefrag 1.02 Hang - Cleared Up

 

After I posted this message, I used tried the following:

 

FIRST - I used the built-in MS Disk Repair facility available from the disk>tools menu. I discovered that I had a cross-linked file. Do not know which one.

 

SECOND - I ran the buil-in MS Defragmentation program, also available from the disk>tools menu.

 

The I restarted the IODefrag program remembering to set the exclusion for large files such that defragmentation will not occur for files larger than 500MB from the Options menu. I set this low on purpose....

 

IOSmartDefrag worked perfectly and has several times since, both on AutoDefrag as well as the directed defrag.

Have you tried with Optimization as well? I already had tried the same procedure as you. It works in Defrag mode, but not in Defrag & Optimize mode. Still hangs. When forcing SmartDefrag to exit, I get the following message:

 

AppName: iobit smartdefrag.exe AppVer: 1.0.2.0 ModName: kernel32.dll

ModVer: 5.1.2600.5512 Offset: 00012aeb

 

Solved in direct cooperation with IOBit.
