This option is configurable in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 2003 server only. Then type: fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 0 To re-enable last access time support in the event of any issues, click Start -> Run, type 'cmd' and hit enter. Then type: fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 1 To disable last access time support, click Start -> Run, type 'cmd' and hit enter. If you are using an automated backup system, please check to make sure it functions properly with this support disabled, as we assume no responsibility for lost data in the event of a failed backup as a result of changing this setting. Please note: disabling this feature can cause problems for some automated backup systems.
Disabling this feature will cause NTFS to no longer write the time at which you access a file when you do. When accessing a large number of files, and writing small bits of data in lots of different places, updating all of the access times can be burdensome and slow down performance. Select your disk drive and click Optimize.īy default whenever you access a file in NTFS the filesystem writes to the drive the time at which you accessed the file. Enter Defragment in the search box, and then click Defragment and optimize your drives. In Windows 8: Open Optimize Drives by pointing to the uper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search. Click "Defragment Now" to begin defragmenting your hard drive. In Windows Vista/7: Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Defragmenter. Then click "Defragment" to begin defragmenting your hard drive. Click on the "Tools" tab and click "Defragment Now". In Windows XP: Open My Computer, right click on the disk you would like to defragment and click "Properties". After the defragment has finished, you can restart it by clicking Start -> Programs -> PostgreSQL -> Start Services. You can stop the PostgreSQL Server's Windows service by clicking Start -> Programs -> PostgreSQL -> Stop Services. You must make sure that the PostgreSQL server is not running before attempting to defragment your hard drive. Please make sure to leave a significant chunk of time for defragmentation in which you are not using your computer for anything else. Please note: if you write data to the hard drive during the defragment procedure, the progress may be lost and the program may need to begin again. It is recommended to defragment your hard drive occasionally. This will increase performance when reading the hard drive as the head does not need to move as far in order to read the rest of the file. Users of modern Solid State Drives (SSD) should not be concerned with performance tuning, SSD drives are high performance drives without mechanical parts, and as such these drives do not require tuning.įor more information, please review the PokerTracker 4 Support Guide titled What are the Minimum System Requirements to run PokerTracker 4?ĭefragmenting your hard drive takes files which may be written in several different physical locations on the hard drive and puts them together in one spot. PostgreSQL would complain when installing the Windows version on a non-NTFS file system, so if you did not have problems installing PostgreSQL, then you can safely assume you are using a NTFS formatted drive. If you are running the Microsoft Windows OS, you are almost certainly using the NTFS file system. To help improve performance, we have compiled a list of things you can do which may speed up hard drive access times based on tweaking a few settings with your hard drive. Performance gains will vary from system to system, and as such cannot be predicted within this guide each user should gauge performance improvement based on his or her own usage experience metrics. One of the things which can often cause slowdowns in PokerTracker 4 usage is the amount of time to read from and write to the hard drive.
