DEFRAGMENT, MODIFY, Qualifiers, /DORMANT

 *Conan The Librarian

       /DORMANT=(file-spec[,...])
       /NODORMANT (default)

          The /DORMANT qualifier indicates files to be
          considered dormant when final file placement
          decisions are made. Dormant files are placed at the
          high end of the volume.

          If a file is indicated in both the DORMANT and
          FREQUENT lists, it is considered dormant. If a file
          is indicated in both the EXCLUDE and DORMANT lists,
          it is excluded.

                                      NOTE

             The amount of free space on the volume, the
             number of files currently being accessed, and
             other factors influence file placement. The
             Disk File Optimizer does not guarantee file
             placement, but makes every effort to place files
             as described.
