Why Doesn't the GS Defragment Function Work?

Last modified date: Thu, 05 Mar 2026 16:22:38 GMT+8

Symptoms

A volume is created in GS UI, but the defragment function cannot be executed on it.

Possible Cause

The defragment feature is only available for file-level volumes. Block-level volumes do not support defragmentation.

Recommended Solution

  • Check the volume type in the system settings.
  • If the volume is block-level, defragmentation will not be available.
  • To use defragmentation, create a file-level volume instead.
