Defragmentation only supports file systems formatted as BTRFS.
You can go to the control panel - storage management - volume, select the corresponding volume, click on the icon in the top right corner, and start the file system defragmentation.

Defraging only takes a couple seconds, are you sure it does anything?

The time required for defragmentation depends on the capacity of your hard drive and its usage status.
You can also use the 'btrfs balance' command through the terminal to perform defragmentation.

A 24tb harddisk with 16tb of files should take more than 10 seconds right?

Using terminal commands is not really user friendly.

In the TOS system, there is only the "File System Defragmentation" feature, not the "Disk Defragmentation" feature. Additionally, the exact time for file system defragmentation is difficult to estimate accurately, as it is influenced by many factors. Currently, the "File System Defragmentation" feature in TOS6 has some limitations, and our team is working hard to improve it. The optimized version will be released in a future update. Thank you for your patience.
