I don't want to update to the pro version of smart defrag and I don't want to have the smart defrag update message nagging me to update it each time windows starts. I am content with the defrag contained in ASCU. So, how do I disable this update message?
Well it's like this... my C: drive is a SSD and as far as I know ASCU takes care of the trim and there is no need for more defrag functions there.Then I have a 1.5TB storage drive (D:) that doesn't get fragmented enough to justify any defragmentation software at all, or at least the ASCU defrag takes care of this well enough for my needs. On another note I think it is far to expensive for MY needs. And as a small parenthesis I have (when I needed it several years ago) found a freeware that was totally awesome at defragging, did it so completely and at such speed it totally blew the competition out of the drives. I won't name it here, but I could give it to you in a personal message if you'd like.
Yeah, I want to know this as well. It seems like the app is updated, what seems like, twice a week. And then we are harassed into updating the app. I paid for all of these apps, but I am still harassed constently!
found a way that works --right click the shortcut (in this case driver booster because i don't have smart defrag installed) open file location find AutoUpdate.exe. use the program IObit Unlocker (it's free) and rename the file to something like AutoUpdate.exe.bak so it will never run. but you can still use the check for updates manually to update all iobit programs
Disk fragmentation is the main cause of slow computer. With enhanced multi-threading defrag engine and improved defrag speed, Smart Defrag provides better solution for faster data access and outstanding disk performance. Then you can enjoy faster game launching speed, copy files in half the time, etc.
As your computer getting older, it takes longer to startup your computer and begins to work. Smart Defrag helps fix this problem easily. Configuring Boot Time Defrag feature, those files on HDD that cannot be moved while system is running can be quickly defragmented for faster startup.
"IObit Smart Defrag optimizes your PC to take full advantage of SSD performance while defragmenting your hard disks. Its SSD Trim tool automatically enables system tweaks that typically require experience to apply. Smart Defrag's updates include a new defrag engine, specialized Game Defrag, a cool new look, and many more language options (35 and counting)."
"I have been using Iobit products for a good many years now. Because I am running an older machine with 6 drives, including 2 external, I find that Iobit's "Smart Defrag 8 Pro" has served me very well. Being an older machine,, my computer system tends to become fragmented quite easily. Having My "Smart Defrag 8 Pro" set to auto defrag, and running a "Defrag and Optimize" once a week, keeps my system running smooth and well. Iobit is constantly upgrading and striving to make the product even better as time goes by. I am well pleased with this product."
"I run a combination of RAID 0 SSDs and RAID 0 HDDs and use Smart Defrag Pro to analyse, defrag and keep my drives running at peak performance. As with all IObit software it is easy to install, use and very reliable. Just set it up and forget it. Smart Defrag has a very small memory foot print so it won't slow down your system. Definitely recommended!"
I am speaking of the windows dialog box that pops up when the program is loaded that states "a new version of smart defrag is available. Update now? Yes/No". Clicking yes opens to the iobit website and a download link.
I'm looking to find a way to disable this popup. I can easily see when a new version is available from the news crawl at the bottom of the screen. The popup interrupts the screen when the system boots since I have smartdefrag set to run at startup.
I believe we are all asking how to disable update notifications and if the answer is they cannot be stopped then let us know that and not the benefits of having a popup stop the computer from loading. The problem not the benefit here is that I am updated to the current version 2.2 but the old 2.0 notifications is still there and I only see one version 0n my computer . So to keep getting prodded to update an already updated version is the problem .
The problem not the benefit here is that I am updated to the current version 2.2 but the old I think, 2.0 notification is still coming up there and since I only see one version 0n my computer to keep getting prodded to update an already updated version is the problem . Again if we request to stop it you can either say ok this is how to do or or WE wont let you do it because you cant . Not spouse the benefits of updates.So........
More and more months later I had some problems running programs/games/etc and I come back there and I saw in the bottom that Last Run wasn't updated at all...So 1 month ago I manually did a defrag an all the disks re-scheduled the automatic deframentation to 1PM (the computer is always on at that time)...
btrfs itself provides progress information for scrub and balance. But defrag with btrfs is done file by file. So inserting progress information has to be done by the application. There is some concern that doing so would seriously increase the defrag running time.
Hi, here are some updated stats, we've spent time over new year putting in additional drives and changing the partitions, so we have a RAID10 partition that we use for iscsi connections and clustered storage. And a RAID1 partition that we use for backup so lots of data changing daily.
I have read Stop Worrying About SQL Server Fragmentation by Brent Ozar, but it doesn't really give an answer to my question. I was hoping for a more complete article and possibly one that was updated more recently.
Also it is my understanding that write (xxx, 274.5) includes defrag writes of (yyyy, 183.1) in your example. So, assuming all your writes are updates (274 - 183 = 91 blocks/sec), defrags are infact keeping up at 183 blocks/sec. What is your update rate, record size and flush-max-ms ? Is it possible that you are writing blocks that are less than 80% full due to the above combination and they are immediately becoming candidates for defrag?
Thanks for the reply. I had tried the default settings initially and noticed that defrag is not keeping up, therefore, I have updated the settings hoping it would resolve it. I again revised the setting back and defrag is still not able to keep up with the writes.
When you are initially creating records, you are getting a fully populated block of data comprising multiple records - as many as can fit in the write-block-size. When some of those records either are replaced by an update to a new block or expire due to expiring default-ttl or record ttl, the block gets fragmented. When useful records are less than defrag-lwm-pct (50%) in the block, the block becomes candidate for defragging. Remaining good records from this block are re-written in a new block along with other records from other blocks getting defragmented. This is how defrag works. So if you were just creating new records at a good rate, 71K on 5 nodes is more than adequate, you should not defrag till records start expiring.
means - you are writing total of 141.0 blocks/sec (128KB blocks) of which 58.8 blocks/sec are from the defragger re-writing records to a new location. So you are writing 82.2 blocks/sec, or 82.2*128KB /sec at 71K TPS on 5 nodes, I estimate your records have about 500 bytes of data.
Let me clarify where I was headed with this.Since you are merely creating records, your defrag-writes should be exactly ZERO.But you have defrag writes, that means some of the records you wrote are naturally expiring.600 seconds ==> 10 minutes. So after 10 minutes, records that you have written are being expired by Aerospike.Those expired records are resulting in available space in previously fully used blocks. Once that space becomes above lwm (50%), the block gets in the queue to be defragged.
This is a non-problem. If you try to read the expired data, you will not get any reads back. Aerospike does not erase individual records off the SSD. Even after defragging a block, old data is still sitting in the block till a new block overwrites it.
Total write blocks/sec = new writes + defrag writes, and you also have separately the defrag blocks/sec number. After (ten minutes + nsup period) - say after 15 minutes of running your write load (ten minutes TTL), you should hit write blocks/sec = 2 * defrag blocks/sec at 50% lwm setting. Do you see that? (Because in your case, almost an entire block will expire in ten minutes - so at some point you will reach a steady state of new blocks being written and entire blocks being expired.)
Our testing cluster has 3 nodes with SSDs. So far the performance seems good but probably needs a bit of tuning. We have 40k w/s (prepending lists and making removeRange queries) on average which it handles easily after some configuration. During peaks, this number can grow a lot larger, which I am limiting to 80k w/s over some period. When it gets 70k+, defrag_q starts constantly growing until the peak is done. Already tried playing around with defrag_sleep but no help.
