I defrag on rare occasion. Usually when the fragmentation starts to
cause a problem with backup. Other than that I leave well enough alone.
You might want to try stopping as many services as possible while the
defrag is running.

As Jim mentions, MSIT does defrag their disks, so its not outside the
realm of reasonable action. However, I think maybe the box I was
performing the task on was a bit underpowered. I'll try it again someday
on a different machine. :)

Rofl....this is one for the SBS list I think.....
Does the built in defragger actually do anything?? As to your
question, I don't have an answer as I do not defrag my disks them being
scsi raid 'n all that.

Subject: [isapros] Disk Defragger on ISA
For no good reason at all other than I was bored on fine
Saturday morning, I decided to run the built in disk defragger on one of
my ISA 2004 firewalls. The system "locked up" (for want of a better
term) and I had to ungracefully shutdown and restart.
Is this "officially bad" or was I having a bad day? :)
