Readynas 626x root partition keeps filling with snapshots
Hi, My readynas626x boot partition keeps filling with snapshots and locking me out. I have to ssh in and manually remove the snapshots in order to regain access to my system. How do I get the snap...
Thanks for your reply.
Hear is the directory with large backup files that i deleted. I have no backup jobs or Apps running on this readynas. I did set the snapshots to be pruned with the drive was 60% full.

These are not snapshots.
I have the same files on my own system, but much smaller (~2.5 Mbytes total). They are backups of the ._shares folder on your data volume(s).
Can you poke around in ._shares, and see where all the space is going.
