Defragmentation Utility?

Dear Forum Members

 

I've noticed that 6.0x NAS users have a built in defragmentation utility, is there a similar add-on utility for firmware 5.3x users?

  • No (at least not one one I know of).

     

    The ext file system used in the older NAS generally doesn't suffer from fragmentation if you've maintained 10% free space.
