Settings - RememberUnmovables
This setting controls wether or not MyDefrag will remember which files are
unmovable. If set to "yes" (the default) then MyDefrag can prevent some unnecessary
data movement.
- Default is "yes". Only the AnalyzeOnly script uses "no".
- The list of unmovable files is remembered in a file called "MyDefrag.dat" in the
installation directory.
-
The Microsoft defragmentation API does not have a facility to determine if a file
is movable or not, so MyDefrag can only find out by actually trying to move
a file (by commanding the API). This is wasteful and in some cases results
in (a lot of) unnecessary data movement.
- The list is loaded just after analyzing a disk. Each unmovable file in the list
is tested wether or not it is still unmovable by instructing the API to move the
first 1000 clusters to a new location.
- New unmovable files are added to the list after completing a zone.
