Hi Amy,
Good idea. I'll see if stopping fwserv will be enough or if I need to
stop logging too.

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? :)
