Does SmartDefrag defragment NTFS metadata?

[Tester1]

See question in title - does SmartDefrag do this?

Hi Tester1,

 

No, Smart Defrag 1.02 does not defrag fragmented Metadata files such as USN Journal ("C:\$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$J", which needs an offline defrag to be defragmented) of Windows on an NTFS formatted disk. (Not even "C:\$Secure:$II", if you call it a Metadata file, which doesn't need an offline defrag to be defragmented.)

 

Cheers.

A new feature to be added?

 

Will future versions of SmartDefrag be capable of defragmenting metadata files?

 

Come on, let's make SmartDefrag the best and I'm sure donations will come flooding in!! :-D
