[X4U] IDefrag points out files that I am clueless about

[Lee Licata]

Randy,

thanks for the link! I will read it all and digest.

To the rest of the list:

While my drive was only about 50% full, I did notice a significant  
speed increase.

I did perform the defrag after doing a 100% backup and I did boot  
from an external portable firewire drive so the internal drive was  
completely free.

Lastly, would NEVER try to defrag by running off a CD. Would think it  
would take forever, and it cannot be written to by the program....

Now, about the strange folder named "/Volume/" .......

You might want to have a look at:

Item #6 and note #1.

iDefrag is unique in the Macintosh world in that it offers several
different defragmentation algorithms to choose from.  Some of which seem
to do a fantastic job of optimizing one's hard drive for the best
performance.
