What is btrfsmaintenance
btrfsmaintenance is:
This is a set of scripts for the btrfs filesystem that automates the following maintenance tasks: scrub, balance, trim, and defragment.
Tasks are enabled, disabled, scheduled, and customised from a single text file. The default configuration assumes an installation profile where ‘/’ is a btrfs filesystem.
The default values have been chosen as an even compromise between time to complete maintenance, improvement in filesystem performance, and minimisation of resources taken from other processes.
