Do a scrub every once in a while. Mount with discard=async or turn on systemd's fstrim service if you're using SSDs.

If it would actually affect performance, turn on autodefrag. Be aware that running a manual defrag, instead of using the mount option, will break reflinks.

As of kernel 6.2, discard=async isn't needed anymore. It got a fix in 6.3[1]
