Hello I hope everyone is doing great. I have a file server that just does
file sharing. When I defrag the system drive where the OS is loaded it is
fine. But when I defrag the data drive, the server becomes unresponsive.
through a terminal or console session. This is a Windows 2003 Server.
Nothing else is loading except for the virus scan. Just a plain server.
Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

What virus scanner do you use? The problem could be that the defrag touches
a lot of files very quick. The virus scan may be uses a driver which than
locks system. Try mst Defrag (one of the quickest defragger,
http://www.mstsoftware.com) and tell us if the problem persists.
