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)?
Yeah, I was going to say that ROS6's Btrfs *will* experience degradation over time, as compared with the ext4 of the 4.x releases. I've been running Btrfs for a while now in Fedora land and I basically degrag about about a monthly basis. I *do* see improvement every single time. I think that ZFS (which you'll find in ReadyDATA OS) has better block placement algorithms than Btrfs, and thus suffers less from COW fragging over time.
