Alert Less than 20% of volume data's capacity is free. Performance on volume data will degrade
Firmware 6.10.3 I am seeing this allert 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 ad...

Just to clarify the volume size. With XRAID/RAID-5 the volume capacity for 4x4TB is 12 TB. The other 4 TB are used for RAID parity blocks (which is what the system uses to rebuild a disk when it is replaced).
But the NAS reports sizes in TiB (1024*1024*1024*1024 bytes), not TB (1000*1000*1000*1000 TB). 12 TB is the same as 10.9 TiB.
2.26/10.9 is about 20% (slighty more, but there could be some accounted for space).
The warnings are quite conservative. Generally I expand my volume when free space drops to about 15%, and I haven't had any issues with stability.
FWIW, I do leave quotas on, so I can see the space used by every share.
Hi davidk1952
This warning does seem to come too early in your case. With a volume of 10.9 TB you shouldn't see this warning till about 2.18 TB left. I wonder if quotas are causing some oddities here. I wouldn't mind taking a look at your logs if you want.
You can download the NAS logs into a zip file.
- Go to the ReadyNAS web admin page and navigate to "System" > "Logs".
- Here you will see an option to "Download Logs" on the right-hand side.
- This will download a zip file containing the logs.
Once downloaded, then upload to Google drive, Dropbox or similar and give me a link to download them. PM me this link, don't share it publicly here on the forums.
Cheers
Perhaps I was not clean... the ballance left on the NAS is.2.26TB out of 10.9TB so, I am getting pretty close to what you said. So what happens when the NAS starts to get that full... I figure the difference from my Original 16TB to 10.9 is the overhead and backup. If you would still like me to send you the log but I'm not sure if it's just telling me I"m getting close... but how many TB can I actually have on the drive when you would consider it full.
I have not set up my email allert as yet, that's another story :-) but I keep a pretty good eye on the allerts.
