If you're running 6.4.0, the quotas ARE enabled on the volume (quota accounting) even though you haven't set any quotas on any share.
There is no GUI option in 6.4.0 to disable the quota accounting at the volume level.
You really should update your firmware, 6.4.0 wasn't the best for ARM units. And a RN102 is not designed for professional use.
There is a good chance your volume is heavily fragmented and the NAS struggling. If you want to use a RN102 and still get acceptable performance, you need to use the correct configuration, no bit rot protection, no compression, no quota accounting, as little snapshotting as possible, etc.
If you start defrag and balance on your RN102 running 6.4.0, if the volume is in poor health, it will most likely collapse.

Hi jak0lantash,
Thank you for you answer.
Is there any ssh command to check quota service status ?
Updating the firmware is an option that i was (and am) taking seriously. It is always good to have such confirmation from experts.
FYI, last weekend, degrag ended good. Balance took 2 days for (only) 80%.
As you said, we lost performance...New nas is on the road.
Regards.

Try btrfs qgroup show /data If you are using flexraid, use one of your actual volume names.
If you see a list of qgroupids then quotas are enabled.

Hi StephenB,
You were right quotas are enabled.
Unfortunately, our current Nas collapsed 2 days ago and we had serious problems using it.
Good news, we received the new one and everything is OK now.When I get time, I will reset the old Nas. Maybe it is "broken" maybe it not not. We will see.
Thanks for your support.
Regards.
