This blog will provide technical data and insights into performance and reliability issues surrounding file system performance.
We hope to cover all topics related to system performance including defrag whether you are running SANs, NAS, workstations, servers,
SSD's or other systems. We will provide interesting anecdotes, white papers, and related story topics on defragmentation and other
performance issues. The blog is intended to be personal rather than a formal Diskeeper website. You will read personal viewpoints
on our products and where we see the industry and our company going. We are excited to have this opportunity to share our product
knowledge and insight, and hope this information helps you. We encourage your comments and look forward to you following this blog.

This is brief update. Diskeeper 2007 uses Windows system counters to enhance awareness of other activties on the system. The Idle Resource Graph (also known as the InvisiTasking graph) requires access to performance counters, which are enabled by default on Windows 2000+ systems. A skillfull Diskeeper user detected that disabling paging (running without a paging file) on a x32-bit system and running Diskeeper causes the disabling of required performance libraries (disable performance counters). This causes the Diskeeper graph to show a blank screen and manual defragmentation jobs to error out. Perhaps the only legitimate reason for remiving a paging file is to conserve battery life/power consumption so it is obviously a very rare circumstance. So, for the time being, if you are running Diskeeper 2007, be sure to keep a paging file on one of your system's volumes.
