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...
So after Level 3 engineering support have remoted onto my 104 ReadNAS the conclusion is as follows
"...
We got feedback from L3. They said that it is very likely that the defragment will take several days depending on the data. Since the RN104 is a very low performing device it is normal it will take several days to do the defragment. They found out that 1721982 files to go through and it has a lot of small files which is more time consuming because it has to allocate block groups that the data sits on
..."
So after a reboot we are going to let it run for 11 days until month end then see where we are. While I look for something more capable of holding more than 5TB of files and being able to defrag them etc. [might just build another Windows File Server to do the job :-( ]
