When did you convert to OS-6? Do you recall what firmware was running back then?
Have you ever tried doing a balance?

Sorry - I meant the first OS 6 firmware version you installed.

Yes.
# btrfs subvolume list -s /data
will show you all the snapshots in the data volume. If you are using FlexRaid, you'll need to replace /data with the volume name(s) you configured when you created the volume(s).

Hello...and thx for the quick reply again...
I did the command you posted and it showed a good amunt of snapshot folders that i am not able to see in winscp
Prob my lack of BTRFS knowledge pays into that
How could i easiest get rid of them now?
is there a proven wildcard rm command or do i have to delete one by one?
Please advise
