The data is just over a year old. I can't remember what version of firmware but I believe it was a 6.x release.

        Check to see if btrfs sees the snapshots via ssh.

        # btrfs subvolume list -s /data

        Substitute your own volume name if you are using flexraid.

         

        Perhaps post back with the list that you get.
