I ran contig.exe 1.7 with -a on the mdf file of a 91 GB database on a sql server 2012 server running on a VM box, and it said there were 109 fragments.
I then brought the database offline, and ran contig without the -a, and it said No files fragmented.
After I brought the database online, contig again said there were 109 fragments.
Has anyone run into similar issues?
Does anyone have any suggestions on any parameter or option I need to use to get rid of the fragmentation?
Here's the actual output, with the database name replaced by xxx, in case that helps. Thanks.
