Error when attempting to delete snapshots
Good morning, I am having issues when attempting to manually delete snapshots from our ReadyNAS. The error that is displaying when it does fail is 28004020002. After searching through your forums...

Fixed.
Please do not reboot the system until the balance has completed. The balance will take some time to complete.
You can see the progress in the web admin interface.
Furthermore you can schedule a balance to be run say every 2-3 weeks.

What readynas model is this?
When did you buy it?
What firmware is on it?
Try disabling all services except https on the System/Settings tab, disabling snapshot access (in the share properties dialogue box) for the share in question, rebooting, then trying the delete again.
This is a fairly commonly reported issue which seems to frequently require remote access by support.
