6.6.1 ReadyNas 104 - Not Enough space to rename or move files

After i updated to 6.6.1 i have experienced problems when i try to rename or move a file/folder.

It says there is not enough space to rename the file/folder, there are over 130GB free and it says so in the popup notification.

I can copy and delete files without any problems, i can copy the file to my local PC and rename and then move or copy it back to NAS.

It does not appear to be all files which trigger this responce, only some of the files added to the NAS after the update, if i remove all the files added after the update data it seems to run fine.

I have scrubed and balance the volumes. I have reset the permissions. I have scanned the drives and local machine with antivirus and antimalware programs.

Anyone with the same problem??

    That's really quite full for btrfs.  Can you offload some data (perhaps bringing free space up to 10%) and see if the problem still happens?

    Looks Like the message I received about space left on volume .... 

    Try to disable virus scanning (at least until a next update!)

      The Antivirus is disabled and was before the update.

      I have tried to enable it, to see if it found anything.

  • That means something else must be wrong ... I initially thought, when reading your message and receiving a mail myself concerning disk space , antivirus scanner had something to do with it. Well, apparently not!

    How full is the volume (% free space)?  Are you renaming from the PC (using SMB)?

      It is about 4% free space.

      I am using SMB from a Windows 10 computer. I have tried from other Windows 10 machines, and also from the admin console.

      I have tried disabling the Windows Search Index service on the Windows 10 just to be sure.
