Defrag and Scrub
Is it necessary to run a scheduled scan on my RN314 for Defrag and Scrub? Volumes are only JBOD and no Snapshots. If so how often should these be scheduled to run?

Scrub does both a btrfs scrub and a RAID scrub. While the RAID scrub doesn't apply to JBOD, the btrfs scrub does.
None of these are strictly "necessary". While the defrag is the least useful, I do run it.
My own practice (on all my NAS) is to run one maintenance task a month on each volume. On NAS with multiple volumes, I stagger the schedule so only one task is running at a time.
