Defrag Running for Days! #23600598
I have a ReadyNAS 104 (OS six.one.eight) with 4 x 4TB drives in a single X-RAID RAID 5 volume so you get about 10.9TB usable. The system has 5.02TB of data on it. The system started a defrag last T...
OK so a couple of points.
The reply from the support case is
"...
Hi Mike,
It is only normally it will take that long for the disk defragment since you have 5.02TB data on it. Please check it again if the defrag is still not finished after another week.
..."
So the implication is a two week defrag time !!!
Also - are we really expected to do a factory reset after a firmware upgrade which will wipe the disks, seems a little harsh. I could do this as I have an identical 104 backing up this one - a case of military purchasing "why have one when you can have two at twice the price".
So could factory default the box and then rewrite the 5TB of data to it from the other ReadyNAS.
Is it believed that this will really make any difference - since the disk were bare when written too first time around and it was done in mostly one massive write session to back up another real file server (massive number of files from small, a few KB, to 60GB in size).
