Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and system for optimizing data defragmentation. The embodiment may include collecting details related to contiguous storage space available on a disk drive. The embodiment may include identifying a type of object storage implementation utilized on the disk drive. The type of object storage implementation is based on how an object is stored within the disk drive. The embodiment may include identifying an important component of the object. The important component of the object is determined by a frequency of access. The embodiment may include identifying a non-important component of the object. The non-important component of the object is determined by a frequency of access. The embodiment may include moving the important component to an outer sector of the disk drive. The embodiment may include moving the non-important component to an inner sector of the disk drive.
