About DiskWarrior’s Directory Optimization Graph
DiskWarrior’s Directory Optimization Graph creates an optimization graph that indicates the de-
gree the directory is internally fragmented. It doesn't just indicate the number of fragments. You
can visually determine the number of fragments and the distance each fragment is out of place.

Graphing a Disk
To build a graph for the directory of a disk, all of the following must be true.
1)The disk must appear on the desktop.
2)The disk must be an HFS (Mac OS Standard) or HFS Plus disk (Mac OS Extended).
3)The disk must be locally attached.
4)There must not be any detected hardware problems with the disk.
5)If the disk is an HFS Plus (Mac OS Extended) disk, you must be running Mac OS 8.1
through Mac OS 9.x.
