OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. When I select 'delete', they won't get deleted. Only the ones from the last day of the month I can delete, the rest remains there (and eating up space...). I now have snapshots from June 15 till August 15 (the day I disabled snapshotting) but I can't get rid of them... It is quite annoying: there is about 975 GB of data on the drive but the whole 1.75 TB is reported full.

Yo IcyK,

I own an Ultra 4 that has a similar problem. It has 4 X 1TB drives in it and has been running OS6 since version 6.0.3 (if my memory serves) or so. Like you, I disabled snapshots before successfully deleting them all, and now it seems I'll be stuck with them forever (or until I decide to reformat the array and start from scratch). I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of those fu**ers, to no avail. The weird thing about my particular scenario is I can move the snapshots, rename them, change permissions and manipulate them in just about every possible way I can think of, except DELETE THEM! It makes absolutely no sense to me. Personally I have chalked it up to one of the many bugs that still need to be ironed out in the BTRFS file system. I'm really astounded that you and I are the only ones out there that have come across this?!?!?

I currently have somewhere in the neighborhood of 700GB's of wasted space on my ReadyNAS, but like you I have a considerable amount of tweaking time invested in the unit and don't really feel like going through that effort all over again :(
