Is DSC Citadel compatible with the Windows 7 disk defragmentation utility?

Is DSC Citadel compatible with the Windows 7 disk defragmentation utility? I'm seeing gaps in trace data, and noticed Win7's defrag utility was scheduled to run weekly (default setting for Win7). I didn't see such gaps when running DSC 8.6 on XP.

Hello andrew johnson,

 

Based on your description the Windows 7 disk defragmentation utility may be limiting write operations to the Citadel database. Does your current setup defragment part of your hard drive on a weekly basis? In order to get more information regarding this issue, you could turn of this utility in order to isolate where the gaps in trace data are occurring.
