By default JkDefrag leaves 1% of the first part of your hard disk free, to be used by temporary files. -The Great Defrag Shootout VIII

- seems you can adjust how many percent you want to be used by temp files

tomos:
thanks Curt just found out the same from a tooltip :-[ :D


The version on offer from the link quoted -

I just downloaded it with a GUI this morning from The Great Defrag Shootout VIII: JkDefrag v3.8

there's a download link towards bottom of page...-tomos (June 12, 2007, 04:45 AM)

has an older version of JkDefrag
It's confusing cause the version is 3.8 but the more recent version from the homepage is 3.14
Guess the older one should be called 3.08

MrCrispy:
I think the author went from 3.8 -> 3.9 -> 3.1. He should've gone to 4.0 but I guess he didn't think it was a big enough change for that!

lanux128:
DC's own discussion on defragmenters.. does anyone of you believe in defragmentation programs?

tomos:
Check out this forum thread for more (three!!) GUI options for JkDefrag

The options require a bit of contemplation on my part  :-\
Here's some of the commandline options

Select an action to perform. The number N is a value from 1 to 11, default is 3:
1 = Analyze only, do not fixup and do not optimize.
2 = Analyze and fixup, do not optimize.
3 = Analyze, fixup, and fast optimization (default).
5 = Analyze and force together.
6 = Analyze and move to end of disk.
7 = Analyze and sort files by name.
8 = Analyze and sort files by size (smallest first).
9 = Analyze and sort files by last access (newest first).
10 = Analyze and sort files by last change (oldest first).
11 = Analyze and sort files by creation time (oldest first).
