RN214 Reports volume capacity at 5% after defrag
I have two RN214, one as a server and the other as a backup. The server is set up as RAID 6, the backup as X-RAID 5. Neither are approaching 10% used. However, both drives consistently report warning...
Firmware 6.6.1. I have turned off AV on both arrays and experimentally run defrag. I'll see in the morning whether the problem recurs. Thanks.
Results so far: With AV off, defrag ran and no warnings followed. I just reactivated AV and will run defrag again to see if I can replicate the issue. If so, I will apparently have to leave AV off until NetGEAR fixes AV.
I think leaving AV off is your best plan, you could try a balance as well
My schedule is to balance and defrag weekly. The balance doesn't seem to precipitate an issues.
I am assuming NetGEAR provides AV for a reason, and that leaving it off has risks, too. At any rate, I'll try this last experiment to collect another data point so that if anyone is working on this issue and cares, they'll have more information. Thanks for your response.

The reason is simple- some users want it.
If you download programs directly onto the NAS (for instance with transmission), then you could stop doing that until the patches are available.
Anything you copy from a PC should be scanned by the PC's AV protection.
