Fragmentation within the NTFS filesystem
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently while troubleshooting an issue on a Windows 7 PC, I noticed a number
| of events in the Application Log labelled "Defrag". Sparking my curiosity, I
| looked further and discovered that there was approximately one entry per day
| in the log. I looked around some more at other Windows 7 PCs and found that
| they too have "Defrag" entries scattered about. It turns out that Windows 7
| now automatically runs a defrag on its NTFS filesystem, compared to Windows XP
| which never did this. This is a great idea on Microsoft's part, rather than
| letting things stockpile up and forcing the user to defrag while waiting for
| minutes or even hours while it churns away.
|
| This got me thinking back to when I read more about other filesystems, most
| notably ext3 and ext4 filesystems on GNU/Linux (which are standardly used
| now), which never need defragmenting. Yes that's correct, they do not need to
| be defragmented.
