I also do not understand why I could not Run something, to Finish this activity which would take about 2 minutes total. They drag things on forever so they dont effect performance, then have to redundant it, because it takes so long. Thier own Ketch Thanks for testing , if it is recreated at the least it is seqeuntial for a while. Just strange to me, OCD Any idea if this automatic recreate behaviour exists on other Windows OSs?
Add a comment. Checking MSDN. If I could comprehend what MS writes I wouldnt have asked. It only took a short period of time to delete them all with the Fsutil? Are you saying with the right programming it could be Suspended for a while? I am not a programmer — Psycogeek. It says at any time another service can start the change journal back up. So yes. So essentially at best, it is suspended until the next process or service decides to start it back up.
Microsoft provided the facility you posted to delete the contents of the journal if it is getting too big, and once the delete process is done, then NTFS will start writing to it again.

New post summary designs on greatest hits now, everywhere else eventually. If a change journal already exists on a volume, the createjournal parameter updates the change journal's maxsize and allocationdelta parameters. This enables you to expand the number of records that an active journal maintains without having to disable it.
The change journal can grow larger than this target value, but the change journal is truncated at the next NTFS checkpoint to less than this value. NTFS examines the change journal and trims it when its size exceeds the value of maxsize plus the value of allocationdelta. The change journal can grow to more than the sum of the values of maxsize and allocationdelta before being trimmed.
Deleting or disabling an active change journal is very time consuming, because the system must access all the records in the master file table MFT and set the last USN attribute to 0 zero.
This process can take several minutes, and it can continue after the system restarts, if a restart is necessary. During this process, the change journal is not considered active, nor is it disabled.
While the system is disabling the journal, it cannot be accessed, and all journal operations return errors. Wilders Security Forums.

The USN change journal is a database of all changes made to files on a volume. Windows enters records into the journal when files, directories, and other objects are added, deleted, and modified.
Programs can consult the journal to quickly determine all the modifications made to a set of files, much more efficiently than checking time stamps or registering for file notifications. Third party programs can also use the USN change journal. After deleting the journal Windows will automatically create a new journal and record volume changes from that moment on. Deleting the journal is usually safe, but can have consequences.

Administrators can create, delete, and re-create change journals at will. An administrator might also delete and re-create a change journal to reclaim disk space. To perform this and all other non-programmatic change journal operations, you must have system administrator privileges.
That is, you must be a member of the Administrators group.
