I am curious about your plan of running it on a weekly basis. For a lightly used system, that seems a bit too frequent; for a system that's constantly being used, that may be justifiable, but then running it that frequently will probably (1) affect the performance of the system for regular tasks (during that hour your system's, responsiveness will probably be bad, and that's a couple of hours per week, not a small proportion of time), (2) increase tear-and-wear.
In any case, I'd probably only do a defrag every few months, or keep occupancy below a certain level (say, 60-70%) to keep fragmentation low though... just my 2 cents. -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 11/10/15, Matthias Andersson <matthias.anders...@pp1.inet.fi> wrote: Hello, I own a Buffalo Linkstation Pro Quad 12 Tb which runs the busybox OS. The NAS uses the XFS filesystem and provides the xfs_fsr defragmentation tool. The problem I've noticed is that the program doesn't obey the -t (seconds) parameter, I've tried xfs_fsr -t 3600 /dev/md2 and it runs over an hour. I then tried with 8 hours but it didn't stop there either. The -p 1 flag seems to work... I'm trying to set up a cron-job to run xfs_fsr for a couple of hours on a weekly basis. //Matthias Andersson _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
