Reclaim Deleted Space
I am using the ReadyNAS Ultra 2 in Windows. I deleted some large files but the NAS still shows no available space. There should be because the files totaled over 30GB in size. You can empty the trash ...
The general rule of thumb for ext (and really most file systems) is that fragmentation begins to hurt performance when you exceed 90%. There are posts here from folks (with v2 systems, not ultra) who reported significant performance issues at somewhat lower values - approx. 85% if I recall correctly.
Though there are likely different opinions on this particular subject, my personal advice is to try to stay under 85% if you can.
