    I've Found a Solution, maybe...

    After uncheck everything related to snapshot, I've started to manually deleted all snapshots unreferenced to a share, because share was previously deleted.

     

    This is the command I'm using:

    btrfs subvolume delete /data/._share/<DELETED_SHARE>/.snapshot/<Snapshot_name>

    It's possible to use wildcard like * to delete multiple snapshots for example c*

     

    Then, I've launched a SCRUB command, it's working VERY SLOWLY, but snapshot space is constantly decreasing, while free space is growing up, after 4 hours is less than 4%...

    I think I will launch a BALANCE, finally, to complete cleaning & maintenance procedure

     

    ReadyNAS is always accessible, but performance monitor show it's workin on disk

     

    Cheers
