RAIDiator 4.2.28 - "No space allocated for snapshots"

69% of capacity is used

 

The snapshot tab states: "no space allocated for snapshots"

Neither Time Machine nor Vault are enabled

CHECKED Disable full data journaling

CHECKED Disable journaling

 

Configuration: RAID Level X-RAID2, 4 disks 
Status: Redundant

 

Does anyone have any suggestion how I could enable snapshots?

 

Much obliged

 

Andrew.

  • Snapshots work very differently on ReadyNAS OS6 to how they worked on RAIDiator-x86 4.2.x. The filesystem is different and with 4.2.x you have just the one snapshot. If you write more data than there is snapshot space then the snapshot will be invalidated.

    Provided the Online Filesystem Check is scheduled at the appropriate time, 100GB should be way more than the amount of writes that take place during the time the snapshot is active.

    With 4.2.x, the amount of snapshot space is configured when the system was originally installed.  It can't be changed later.

        Understood.  That was done when the system was installed (I haven't reset mine in years, so I don't remember exactly what the setup questions were).
