Select the Compression check box to enable data compression. Compression saves storage space
and increases the speed of data transfers, but the compression and decompression processes
require additional resources. By default, the Compression check box is cleared.
Note that compression is available only when bit rot protection is enabled.
Compression
Select the Auto-Defrag check box to enable automatic defragmentation. When auto-defrag is on,
after writing to a file, ReadyNAS OS consolidates and rewrites portions of the file to reduce
fragmentation.This reduces or eliminates the need to periodically defragment the entire volume, but
because it occurs after every write, it can impact performance if a file is written to very frequently.
Examples of applications that make many writes to the same file are databases, virtual machine
images, and iSCSI LUNs. If the share or LUN is used for these and similar applications, auto-defrag
might not be a good solution.
