Thanks.

Minor changes for FW 6.7.5-T299 (Beta 1)

Defrag is still unusable slow:

Tested on the same RN104 as before.

RN104

Balance:

Fri Jun 9 2017 16:48:29	Volume: Balance complete for volume data.
Fri Jun 9 2017 16:33:14	Volume: Balance started for volume data.

Defrag:

Fri Jun 9 2017 23:52:16	Volume: Defragmentation complete for volume data.
Fri Jun 9 2017 17:30:03	Volume: Defragmentation started for volume data.

Running time: about 6hrs 22 minutes

It is better but still very slow. (From 11 hrs to 6 hrs on the same unit)

With FW 6.6.1 it was from 15 to 30 minutes on the same unit. Is it possible to get time about 1 hr?

2nd pass for defrag is runiing on the same RN104 now.

I don't think they should just keep shrinking the target extent size.  Maybe they could add an optional setting like they have for cooling (most defrag, most speed, and balanced).
