NAS 102 has began to warn about lacking of capacity,

My Netgear NAS 102 has began to warn about lacking of capacity, The message are:

"Less than 30% of volume media's capacity is free. NETGEAR recommends that you add capacity to maintain current performance levels. Continuous protection snapshots will be deleted when volume free space is less than 5%."


But, when i look at Explorer how much the NAS have used and free capacities, so sitution are following:
- Used capacity are 145 GB
- Free capacity are 781 GB
- Total capacity are 995 GB
What means the warning from NAS 102 above.
Should I be worried concerning the lacking store capacity.

What are/means snapshots ? I could not find any when I studied the explorer.

    Are you running 6.6.1 firmware?  If so, either turn off the AntiVirus protection, or upgrade to the 6.7.0 beta firmware.
