DescriptionItem
Select the Auto-Defrag check box to enable automatic defragmentation. When auto-defrag is
on, after writing to a file, ReadyNAS OS consolidates and rewrites portions of the file to reduce
fragmentation.This reduces or eliminates the need to periodically defragment the entire volume,
but because it occurs after every write, it can impact performance if a file is written to very
frequently. Examples of applications that make many writes to the same file are databases,
virtual machine images, and iSCSI LUNs. If the share or LUN is used for these and similar
applications, auto-defrag might not be a good solution.
