how to enable Online File System Consistency Check??
We have two ReadyNAS Pro 'Business Edition' NAS boxes, each with 6 disks.
The first was purchased late 2008 and recently had its disks replaced, since one went bad and the remaining two were no longer redundant.
The second was purchased during January 2010 and contains the installed 3 1-TB disk drives.
Both have the same 4.2.15 firmware, the second has a little faster memory.
The second NAS has a feature called Online File System Consistency Check, the first one does not have this.
The second NAS has had 10 GB set aside for snapshots.
How do I enable Online File System Consistency Check on the 1st NAS??
How do I remove the 10 GB snapshot set aside on the 2nd NAS if we ever want to do so??
Thank you, Tom

- The Online Filesystem Consistency Check requires that you have snapshot space allocated as it works on a snapshot of your data. It should be run when minimal to no writes as being made to your ReadyNAS.
Currently the snapshot space cannot be resized, but hopefully this will change with a future firmware update. - My PRO Business is failing the consistency check regularly. When I reboot and run the full file system consistency check everything passes without errors. I’ve also gotten reports that snapshot space was no longer allocated.
Is it possible that there is something running on my NAS (even on Sunday at 2:00 am) that is exceeding my snapshot space thereby causing my problem? Or do I have file system errors in the partition of the hard drive that's allocated for snapshots?
Is there something I can do to fix this issue?
Thanks for any help possible.
