Defragmenting a ntfs compressed file bug.

Recommended Posts

Consider this scenario:

 

- A ntfs compressed file fragmented with these properties:

 

size: 98 758 480 bytes

 

size on disk: 49 590 272 bytes

 

 

-  Largest free space block on disk reported by contig.exe (sysinternals)  : 91009024 bytes

 

 

 

Trying to defragment the file outputs: defrag aborted. no files were defragmentes.

 

But running:

 

contig.exe file

 

defragments the file in 1 piece.
