[QUOTE="scathe, post: 1080163, member: 81672"] The defrag will always begin at 0%. If it's not paused during a defrag and you restart the machine, iDefrag simply analyzes the disk again and defrags everything. It's like booting your computer, when you turn it off in the middle of booting, you wouldn't expect it to resume where it left off. Now I'm not saying iDefrag might not have a suspend option, but if it runs from a dvd then it's out of question. If you see that 3 nights in a row it takes 7 hours to do 30% then you will simply need to leave it running for a much longer time than overnight. And as mentioned above, Mac OS X is said to be efficient in disk usage and defrag shouldn't be needed. I'm not saying don't use iDefrag, just learn to live with the fact that defraging a big drive takes time :) [/QUOTE]
