message: Before you mark this article for deletion, please note that O&O Defrag is often reviewed along with other notable defrag software in reputable, independent PC magazines. Some (but not all) of these articles are listed.
Not all of the extensive reviews are available online, but appeared in print. The sources have not been listed because they could not be verified yet.  RitaSkeeter 06:33, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: "Directories and file metadata are not defragmented":
Depends. In online-mode (standard), O&O defrags and consolidates any non-exclusive-locked files by the OS. With NTFS volumes, these are only a handful files ($MFTMirr, $LogFile, pagefile.sys, hiberfil.sys etc.); at FAT volumes however, all directories are also locked and therefore can't be moved. Running in offline-mode (in the Windows start-up phase), O&O can also move those locked files (i.e. defragmenting the pagefile), but it uses a fast-mode (possible the Stealth-method from the online-mode), so it just defrags the files but does not consolidate free space (so FAT-directories aren't moved anyway, sticking to wherever they were at the volume).
From the Help file: This phase is called Boot time defragmentation.
It is now possible, using this feature, to defragment a file which is being used exclusively by the operating system. Depending on the operating system, for example, this can be the swap file, the registration database as well as the MFT (Master File Table).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niraya (talk • contribs) 05:21, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There are few, if any, defragmenters which consider files consisting of only huge fragments "good enough." Calling this a "known issue" might give that aspect a bit of undue weight. 217.254.168.16 (talk) 06:25, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

text: As long as it is product information, I'm fine with it. If it's verifiable and reliably sourced, keep it. Just keep the marketing words like "innovative" or "unparalleled" out of the article. And yes, any honest product information is reliable, for the competition would have sued O&O if they lied. 217.254.168.16 (talk) 06:25, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

text: I want to comment on our responsiveness to technical support issues: we *always* respond to any inquiry. I would like to investigate this further in our company, so please provide some more info on that. You can leave it on my user page, if you like, or post it here.

message: Still, even at wikipedia, there is no provement if this new "Zone Filing" technology gives any advantage over regular defragment methods. Thus, mentioning it sound more like an advert. I suppose, this page really lacks a critic review on "Zone Filing" efficiency.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.243.187.71 (talk) 14:44, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Zone Filing: Any good? 

message: The Known Issues needs editing, a lot, for NPOV. What version(s) were those written about? Current version is 14.5.543 As of version 12, it would grab hold of removable drives, blocking Windows from being able to safely remove or eject them. Far as I could find there was no way to restrict its automatic actions to non-removable drives. Bizzybody (talk) 19:54, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
