Fragmented Windows Page File

by z3n on Feb.09, 2009, under Tips & Hints

Problem:

Windows pagefile.sys gets fragmented, eventually, if you load something that requires it to get larger or it simply comes fragmented when you install windows. This file can’t be defragmented.

Solution:

Do a partittion just for this file, just like on linux, you do a swap partittion with the same size of the pagefile (a hundred mbs more will be the best since there’s some hidden files and shit) and place the pagefile.sys there, it won’t be fragmented since will be the whole file fills the whole partittion with no other files. That will give a boost of speed on the page file using.
