Cannot Delete Share
Receiving this error message when trying to delete a specifik Share "Cannot delete share. It's being used by another application. (fvbackup)"
The share is empty. It's not a huge deal, it is just annoying. My 262x is just over 2yrs old, so I don't think I still can contact tech support.
You can't delete the "directory" because it isn't one. It's a BTRFS subvolume. Try using brtfs subvolume delete.
fvbackup is the ReadyNAS backup process. Have a look in ./etc/frontview/backup_jobs.conf and see if anything references that share.

Hi,
I was able to reboot the unit this morning and it doesn't make a difference.
Here is the Error
Is a backup job configured to use the share? If so, try deleting the backup job first.
No Backups defined. The Share is not used for anything. I think it probably was in the distant past and abandoned. There is a flag set somewhere that needs to be removed. It tried to SSH into the box and remove the directory... the system prevented me from doing it :-).
