Select the Compression check box to enable data compression. Compression is only available
if bit rot protection is enabled. Compression saves storage space and increases the speed
of data transfers, but the compression and decompression processes require additional
resources.
Compression
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.
