Snapshots have stopped
Hi, I have had my ReadyNAS 314 for quite a number of years with Snapshots enabled and have only had one issue during all that time which the ReadyNAS team resolved for me after a firmware update (2 -...

The default setting was 95%, but they might have dropped it down to 90% after that (my own NAS is set to 90). If yours is set to 85%, then you probably adjusted it.
But I think that explains it. Your system is over the threshold (~86% full based on your earlier post). The system probably started deleting the oldest snapshots a while ago - bringing the free space back up to 85%. But your main volume continued to grow and eventually the system deleted them all.
So the solution is to expand the volume. Though you could bump the setting up a bit for now, I wouldn't go above 90.

How full is your data volume?

I have 709 GB of 4.75 TB free - about 15%.
I see this message in the Logs, but have been comfortable with the space free until it drops below 10% - Volume: Less than 20% of volume data's capacity is free. Performance on volume data will degrade if additional capacity is consumed. NETGEAR recommends that you add capacity to avoid performance degradation.
