The quotas count both data and metadata, but one would have thought you wouldn't be anywhere close to filling the quota with only 100GB of data. The metadata would only be at most a handful of GB one would expect.

even if it has already reserved a space for the creation of snapshots, the 30 snapshots will not be able to take almost 200 GB from 100 GB filesas you can see on the screenshot - it can do only 30 snapshots and only at sunday (now there is no snapshots because it didn't do it yet)

NAS with quotas says that share is full when it has a much more space

I inserted in it 2x 2TB hard drive and conver it in RAID-0 FlexRAID. Then I add 3 share (1 - unlimited, 1 - 30GB and 1 - 300GB quotas).

Share with 300GB quota

Then I tried to send about 150GB of big files, such as disk images, but it sended only 105,5GB and says that there is no space for another files.
