Defrag
Does Defragging the NAS have any effect on performance? If so, how would I go about defragging it using Windows (64 bit, Windows 7 Ultimate)?
I WANT to defrag my NAS. Saying "linux doesn't need to defrag" is all very well (even if you use invalid words like "unneeded" to prove your point). When files and directories are moved or deleted, Linux - like every other operating system - simply blanks out their "root" directory entry. This confuses most Sony equipment (which also purportedly uses a linux derivative) that wants to read or stream data from it. Like, my TV and my PS3...
If you move or delete enough you end up with scores of (null) entries that Sony thinks sill contain valid data - because they do. The directory entry has been blanked - but the data it points to is still there - often in part or eventually corrupted.
So, Linux = no defrag = bollocks. What utility or OS patch can I use please.
Thanks,
~AS.
