more Fragmentation when using HDL_DUMP?

[SoNyBoY]

I noticed that when i install games with hdl_dump it will make more subpartitions on the HDD as HDLoader.

And in the most cases the TOC will show incorrect.

03ac0000.: 128MB 1337 [PP.HDL.JAK3 ]
03b00000.: 512MB part # 1 in 03ac0000
Where are the other GBs of the game

the most games installed with HDL shows perfect

i know The APA partitions use peaces of 128,256,512,1024 and 2048MB HDL uses the next free place trhat is big enough but hdl_dump split the most games over the hole hdd.
i like hdl_dump the network installing is cool.
But i think the fragmentation of the games is to big.

heres foe example the complete TOC of my hdd

And i noticed too that when the hdd is full and i remove partitions in the middle of the TOC
from 05c00000 --> 09000000 HDL wont detect the free space it shows 20Gb free but in cant install games anymore.
I must delete games at the end of teh TOC to get free soace for HDL to install games

i dont know what to tell you.. but i really wish we had a way to run a defrag over the network. Its a huge pain in the ass for me to remove my ps2 hd and put it in my pc to run WinHIIP. which btw, the only solution i know of, is you'd have to run WinHIIP and defragment with that.

i wish we had a defrag elf to run....
