I don't see how it can be done, if it can be done. If it can, please let me know how. Otherwise, might be a good suggestion for future releases.
It can't be done (yet) and I'm not sure I want it to become a feature.
I have a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo and from memory, I seem to recall some literature I read that they look after that stuff internally.
Most NAS boxes (if not all) that I come across are running some sort of Linux variant, so there will be that hurdle for DF to overcome.
Add to that, most have more than one drive so run some sort of RAID (sometimes in-house written as with Netgear), so that would be another potential problem.
mta is correct. Most NAS drives run a variation of FreeNAS, a NAS-optimized implementation of FreeBSD, which is an Open Source implementation of Unix. (I find it fascinating that the progression of operating systems is almost Darwinian)
Anyway; back on topic: FreeNAS handles all the disk integrity management itself, so defragging a NAS manually (while likely extremely difficult) is completely unnecessary.

That is little comfort to the O.C.D. (Obsessive Compulsive Defraggers)
