114% fragmented!

I am trying to run Defraggler on a 500GB drive. The drive has never been defragmented. I selected a Quick Defrag for the first pass, thinking it would start fairly quickly. How wrong I was.

 

26 minutes into the run and it has only just said "Quick Defrag Started".

 

Now the fun bit

174,204 fragmented files (129.9GB)

2,479,363 total fragments

114% fragmentation

 

Yup, one hundred and fourteen percent fragmentation

 

Defraggler is using about 750MB of RAM (peaked at 820MB) and between 2% and 8% cpu, averaging 3%.

 

O/S = fully patched Server 2003

RAM = 3GB (1.4GB in use)

CPU = P4 dual core, approx 2GHz

HDD = SATA 150, 500GB, probably Samsung

Other software running =

Kaspersky TSS server at between 0% and 3%, usually 0%

SQLServer at between 1% and 13%, averaging 3%

Up2date at between 2% and 8%, averaging 5%

 

Defraggler v2.00.230 (also happened on 1.21)

 

I run a full 5-pass chkdsk on the drive tomorrow morning.

 

Any other (relevant) suggestions?

 

Note DF2 is working beautifully on my XP, 7 and even Vista boxes.

I love the new customisable drive map. (The drive legend needs to include low occupancy blocks)

 

Thanks in advance,

dynoroddy

I will send the /debug log after lunch - since it has actually started defragmenting at long last, I am loth to stop it

 

Ok, I clicked STOP mre than 5 minutes ago. It is still stopping!

 

Now down to just 170,773 files, 2,469,582 frags but still 114%

 

I will re-run defraggler in /debug mode in about an hour ... assuming it stops by then. (Lunch + crosswords take priority over trivial things like work)
