Confirmed. Gives all kinds of values to me, but could not find a pattern in how the values are generated. I would say 100% is when 100% of the files consist of more than one chunk (that is, have a "jump" point in their FAT chain). Counting the chunks per file could give an additional value to be reported: "Fragmentation ratio is 2.5" would mean an average of 2.5 chunks per file. Optimum would be 1.0 ... Version tested: DEFRAG 0.31, on FAT16 filesystems, FreeDOS kernel 2029.

Upgrading the severity from 'normal' to 'major'. If it's on the "1.0 to-do list", then it should be more important than a 'normal' severity. -jh

Cannot reproduce this anymore with DEFRAG 0.4 - both FAT12 and FAT16 give plausible fragmentation statistics now. However, DEFRAG attempts to defrag FAT32 even though it does not support FAT32! The fragmentation statistics are okay even for FAT32 (!), but the defragging itself fails. PS: CHKDSK /R should give a progress indicator display during surface scan (which can take very long). And it should support disk formats like 1.68 MB (DOSFSCK does support them, there is no special support needed beyond the FreeDOS kernel builtin disk driver flexibility...).
