Cannot save Office 2016 files to ReadyNas 102
Firmware version 6.1.7 This devices has been serving a small office of four computers for a fair few years. Its not full although I am clearing out some of the backups and has worked faultlessly ...
6.1.7 was and of November 2016.
Did you had the file system run full on your NAS?

Not sure what you mean by that. Anyway I deleted about 80gb of old backup files off it in the last couple of hours and it now seems to be working. It wasnt full though which is odd, unless it thought it was full. they were just small PDF and txt files that seemed to save so maybe there was enough space for them and not a large Excel Spreadsheet but according to the the Netgear GUI there was about 80gb free anyway. Maybe its time it was replaced. Its been in there for seven years.

That has to be done in a couple of steps - check the release notes for details. https://kb.netgear.com/000061727/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Software-Version-6-10-3
6.10.4 has an annoying bug if you use rsync "pull" backups, so I'd pass on that release if you use that feature.

I don't let my free space go below 15% of the volume size myself.
If you are using the "smart" snapshot feature, then I suggest deleting the oldest snapshots. You really don't need them going back 7 years. If you continue to use the NAS, you could also expand it's capacity.

Thanks. Is there an easy way to remove the old snapshots? I suspect that is the issue.
