Hi:
Even 3 hours' pass, Defrag still can NOT be defragged. Prior to this,
defrag took about 1 hour, ... latest 1 and a half hours to complete.

Wonder what's wrong with this, .... not able to 'defrag?'

Thanks any helps on this, ...

Why are you trying to defrag manually? By default the system will do this as
a low priority background process. There is no need to run it manually. If
you are and it is taking a long time, it's because a) it is still a low
priority process and b) something is causing blocks to be rewritten.
