Deleting Snapshots - ReadyNAS102
Hi Everyone, I noticed that i was running out of disk space on my ReadyNAS, and when i checked i found that Snapshots were taking up over 2TB. I went into the settings for that folder,...
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. Just mailed them.
Cheers,
Andrew
Your snapshots were not upgraded when you updated to 6.2.4 back in July last year.
As a result they are not showing up in the UI.
I have sent you a PM.
Since you are not comfortable with providing remote access you have a few options.
1. If you are comfortable with SSH you could do:
# touch /.force_snapshots_upgrade # systemctl restart readynasd
This should upgrade the snapshots which would then allow you to delete them
or 2. You could backup your data, do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) and restore your data from backup. Considering your system was setup on 6.0.0 (the very first firmware release) I think this would be a good idea. We have added some filesystem improvements which are not required, but still nice to have that can only be obtained by creating a new filesystem.
Note the issue that you have run into is a one-off upgrade issue that you ran into when updating to 6.2.4. You won't run into this problem again.
Hi,
OK, great, thanks for your help :)
