user4 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 When Defragler is set to move large files to the end of the disk, the defragmentation process stops at some point with an error message: not enough free space on the disk. This happens with the C and the D drive. D has 122 GB of free space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted March 20, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2009 Stating which version of defraggler used, and also which operating system, will help people make a comment on this.

user4 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 1.08.132 Windows XP SP3 Correction: the error message claims there is not enough space on the disk. Not free space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanooo Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hello, I have the same problem with the new Defraggler version 1.08.132 (message about free space with XP sp3, NTFS (AHCI mode)) . If I re-execute the previous version (1.07.124), there is not any free space problem message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoIDLeftForMe Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am having the same problem as everyone above (Windows SP3, Defraggler 1.08.xxx). I discovered that if you go to the "Files" tab and check all, then use "Defrag Checked," it will work (or seems to) and I don't get the "not enough space" error message.

Martin B Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 hi! me too. same versions - same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeBoxx Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Same here as well. OS: Windows XP SP3 Patches / Hotfixes: All of them + a bunch of Office 2003 ones. Defraggler: v1.08.132 Volume: NTFS - I don't think compression is enabled on it. I can also confirm that just defragmenting files does work. Just needed to defragment the drive before making an image of the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ununpentium Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Me too.... Win XP Pro 32 bit - Service Pack 2. details here: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=21095 I'm sorry, I looked for a similar discussion before creating the new topic, but I found only a similar one (about disk space) but talking about spyware.... (and this is not the case: I have just formatted and reinstalled - never connected to the web without antispy, anti-rootkit, antivirus and firewall!). ZeBoxx kindly suggested me to move here. Thanks.

Abdul Raouf Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 When Defragler is set to move large files to the end of the disk, the defragmentation process stops at some point with an error message: not enough free space on the disk.

pe1dnn Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Same here, plenty of space and it said not enough space. The problem is that Defraggler seems to try to defragment a file called $BadClus:$Bad which is an NTFS system file containing the drives bad sectors. I have a drive without bad sectors (check with chkdsk x: where x: is the driver letter). Most disk are free of bad sectors, at least as seen from windows. Defraggler claims the file is as big as the drive is. So the file does not fit on the drive with all the other files. Maybe a bug triggerd when the number of bad sectors is zero? The file does not show up in the file list. I found the file on the drive map, when you click on a square a tab Highlighted is openend containing the file using that part of the disk. I clicked on a large file and saw this special file with its very big size. There are other reports mentioning this file, how ever I saw in this thread it was not yet connected to this problem, I think its the cause of the problem. So it needs to be fixed. In the mean time you could select all files and defrag only the selected files. I only hope Defraggler did not make a mess of my disk by creating a faulty $BadClus:$Bad file during the defrag attempt... Addition: the $BadClus:$Bad file also shows up when clicking on an unused area since it spawns the whole disk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe1dnn Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 To quote myself: I only hope Defraggler did not make a mess of my disk by creating a faulty $BadClus:$Bad file during the defrag attempt... I'm sorry to report that there is a problem now, the master file table (MFT) is way to big now. It looks like I have to take all the files off, reformat the drive and put them back on to get it correct again. (Unless the new Defraggler also makes the MFT smaller, but I guess not...). Bummer...

Guest MrRon Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Coppertrail, can you run in /debug mode with Move large files enabled and PM me with the log Thanks MrRon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppertrail Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Coppertrail, can you run in /debug mode with Move large files enabled and PM me with the logThanks MrRon I will do that during my next defrag on that machine. I'm fine running Defraggler without that option, but wanted to let you know as you'd mentioned that it would be fixed in the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
