Feature Request: Volume Capcity Warning
Not sure where to post this, but hopefully it will make it to the Development Team for All ReadyNAS devices....
In v6.10.0 there is still a missing "Feature" (really a BUG) that likes to toss o...
Feature requests should be posted in the idea exchange. Though truthfully, Netgear doesn't seem to pay much attention to it.
Personally I've found that btrfs needs more free space than ext (particularly with snapshots enabled). But I agree that the 30% threshold is too conservative, and it would be useful to be able to change it.
This particular request is already in the idea exchange (at least once) - https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Idea-Exchange/Configurable-drive-space-warnings/idi-p/1146944 It didn't get a lot of votes, but it did get some.
You could upvote it, or maybe post it again.
30% in some cases could be an issue. But not so much when you're talking TBs in my case. That's why I think they need to join this century on their notifications.
And you're right, it prob. won't do much, but I did just add my comment to the old post.

30% is conservative. But I wouldn't feel comfortable with a threshold much below 20% on my own volume (which is also 18 TB). I've seen too many posts here from users who skated too close to the edge.
BTRFS can use a lot of free space in a hurry, especially if you use snapshots. If the system gets too low, you are often faced with destroying the volume and starting from scratch.
