What is $MFT file and can the size be reduced? - Super User The MFT reserve is definitely not the cause of such defect Many people now have system volumes with a MFT larger than several gigabytes, even if there's never been more than 200k files using at most 250k MFT records (normal MFT record size can be 1KB on the main Windows volume, or 4KB for other volumes specially formatted for large data files)
Cant shrink volume due to \$Mft::$DATA - Super User This is to defrag only certain metadata files (like MFT and USN Journal) of each volume The default behavior of Defrag operation will ignore the above metadata files This option is supported on NTFS volumes only Simply do: defrag X: Defrag OnlyMetadata I haven't tried it on the OS drive, so one may have to mount the partition to an other OS
How can I move the MFT to end of contiguous used space? Windows often places the MFT in the middle of the disk for historical performance reasons - this can prevent shrinking of a volume as Windows won't shrink the volume beyond un-movable files (of which the MFT is one) Here's the steps I've just used to move my MFT to allow me to shrink my system volume: Run Disk Cleanup Disable System Restore

You can use the fsutil utility that comes with Windows fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo c: In the output, look for the Mft Valid Data Length line The value is hexadecimal; you can convert it to decimal using the Windows calculator or by simply running it (starting with 0x) in PowerShell as a command That gives you the number of bytes, which when divided by 1024 2 = 1048576 gives you the MFT size in
System keeps writing in \\$LogFile and \\$Mft on external drives . . . @DrMoishePippik I agree access to the NTFS MFT and LogFile are side-effects of the real culprit Something keeps accessing those disks That in turn causes "system" AKA the NTFS filesystem driver to update the disk (Probably just updating the "Last Access Time" metadata for the root-folder )
windows - What does $DATA (nonresident) mean? - Super User For each file (or directory) described in the MFT record, there is a linear repository of stream descriptors (also named attributes), packed together in one or more MFT records (containing the so-called attributes list), with extra padding to fill the fixed 1 KB size of every MFT record, and that fully describes the effective streams associated
