I don't think any of our services would create these. I think it must be some software on your PC.

I don't believe so, as I have a RaedyNAS Duo, which has not produced these BLSNFO files. I also have an Xtreamer eTRAYz and a XtreamerPro mirrored with 4 TB in each and these BLSNFO files only appear on the READYNAS Pro 6.
I just opened one of the files and this is what is in the 1kb file.
It's like a catalogue/bookmark thingy, Its like Batch tagging the movies, similar to an MP3 Tag.
I do not have anything doing that, maybe the READYNAS Pro 6 has some built in catalogueing system.
I went to the Admin page and looked in Add-Ons. It says, "No add-on packages are currently installed."

This is no big deal, I was just curious to what is causing these files to create. I delete them and they auto-re-create themselves. They are not taxing the system now, they might later depending on % I use of the 14TB with movies.
Whilst in the Admin page i looked at some settings. Under 'Performance Options' there is Enable disk write cache, Disable full data journaling and Enabled Optimized for OS X. I'm uncertian if any of these are creating any tags. Strange.
