It's an annoyance with Shadow Copy and defrag; not optimzation issue. More info here.

 :down: FYI: WinUtilities Disk Defrag uses JkDefrag'Source Code. No mention is made of that in their documentation by WinUtilities. It's a fencing posture and an abusive idiosyncrasy indeed...

 :down: BTW, Abexo Disk Defragmenter (payware...) does the same...

 ;D But they can't do that anymore with the freeware MyDefrag (that isn't open source like the previous JkDefrag...).

Diskeeper uses a file system filter driver also. It seems that is to do their defrag process. UltraDefrag uses it for the same "that does most of the work".

You can request more info about UltraDegrag'driver (it's open source) in their support.

... and then there's the issue of using a driver at all, without detailing why.

From http://ultradefrag.sourceforge.net/overview.html :

It makes use of the same defragmenting API used by many other windows defrag utilities, both open and closed source. However, UltraDefrag has many features that makes it unique. Firstly it has a kernel mode driver that does most of the work, secondly is the ability to run the application at boot up time in a manner similar to chkdsk. This allows for faster defragmentation time and the ability to defragment all files including system files. The work is done via a kernel mode driver which has an optimal defraging algorithm.
