File System Defragmentation
If your data is modified constantly, the number of fragmented files will increase in the file system, resulting in slow access performance of files on the hard drives. Performing file system defragmentation can improve the performance.
To perform file system defragmentation:
- Open Storage Manager.
- Go to Volume.
- Select the volume on which to perform file system defragmentation.
- Select File system defragmentation from the Action drop-down menu.
Note:
- File system defragmentation is available on specific models only.
- File system defragmentation can only be performed on volumes in Btrfs file system.
- File system defragmentation can only be performed when the status of the volume is Normal.
- Please do not shut down the system before file system defragmentation is completed. If the system is shut down before completion, file system defragmentation must be restarted from the beginning.
- Volume usage might increase if the volume contains snapshots of shared folders.
