[QUOTE="zhdarkstar, post: 5054855, member: 113956"] While I have no immediate use for this tool, as all of the roms on my mSD are working properly, thinking about how it functions does bring up one possible concern. External fragmentation as a result of repeated usage of this tool over time. I'll admit that it's more of an outlier scenario affecting mostly smaller mSDs or those kept near capacity, it's one that your targeted defragging code could probably fix with only a little tweaking. Perhaps you could add a free space optimizer that triggers only when external fragmentation reaches a certain threshold, or at least a warning message advising the user to address the issue. That way it also helps to prevent newer files added to the mSD from suffering excessive data fragmentation, by making the free space look less like swiss cheese. Also, I'm curious as to why you decided to defrag only the smallest fragments, as opposed to the largest fragments. I understand from a wear and tear perspective, but couldn't the creation of all of those small holes in the memory allocation cause files added later to be excessively fragmented due to a large amount of small clusters of free space? Just a little food for thought. [/QUOTE]

I said to my wifey earlier, "I gotta pull a Nocto card on that one." Without even thinking she has no clue what that means.
