Automatic monthly scrubbing en defragmentation

[Surfudder]

I would really like it if you could schedule volume defragmentation and scrubbing of the filesystem on for example a monthly basis. This would be a nice stap up for the maintenance of the NAS

Scheduling without direct OS intervention is something this OS needs.

If you can schedule backups, running other jobs by schedule should be supported without having muck around with the OS using CLI.

Totally agree. It would be very helpfull if this comes available.

Regular scrubbing of the RAID array is not a nice feature to have. It's a MUST HAVE feature. Not having such a feature built in is a massive oversight. If you don't scrub your array regularly, sectors may easily become corrupted over time without anybody noticing. I have experienced that with harddisks and SSDs alike and I have lost data because of it.

The latest incident happened 1 year ago: The main SSD of my desktop computer silently developed broken sectors. I did not notice, until the first files started to fail on me. At that point, many other files had already become unreadable. The process of developing corrupted sectors must have been going on for months prior.
