Also, were I to run a btrfs scrub from the shell, would I be crossing any lines with respect to future support from Netgear?

General guidance from Netgear is that support won't help you if they decide that your use of ssh did damage.  If there was damage, then doing a factory reset would resolve it.  https://kb.netgear.com/30068/ReadyNAS-OS-6-SSH-access-support-and-configuration-guides

 

Personally I don't think doing a btrfs scrub would do damage (since the scrub in the web ui includes it).  But I don't work for Netgear, and their views might differ.

While we're on the subject, could you remind me of the "Correct" order for the various maintenance tasts--Defrag, Scub, and Balance?

Honestly, I don't think there is a correct order.  I run them all periodically (on a three month schedule), so the cycle could begin with any of them.  FWIW my current schedule is

• disk test (month 1 of the quarter)
• balance (month 2 of the quarter )
• defrag (middle of month 2 of the quarter)
• scrub (month 3 of the quarter)
