Hi everyone,
for the last 200 some odd days my FreeNAS is reporting as being up, it's been rock solid. Today when doing patches on my windows host i noticed slow logins.
had a look at vmware and noticed read / write times above 10 where they have been around 3. Not a huge deal (or so i think for i have looked at worse).
Had a look at the output of zpool list and see the vmware pool is 45% FRAG.
I do not use SnapShots.
The FreeNAS server is connected via 10BGE links to each VmWare host.
I have two VmWare hosts connected to the FreeNas server.
FreeNAS has 32GB ram and Intel i3-6100
honestly i would like the Frag% to be lower.
Thanks!

- What are my options to lower the Frag%
- what % should one really be worried?
- is there an ONLINE process to deFrag the disks?
Thanks!
