Attempting to save anything to the device will fail. The device is mostly often used a repository for scanning, so the most common symptom is that a scanned item is simply not available.

It might be the OS partition that is out of space.
If you have support (most RN314 owners do have free lifetime chat support), you can contact Netgear.
Or you could enable ssh, and check for fullness with
df . -i
df . -h
If you haven't done this before, you log into the NAS using putty (windows) or terminal (mac). You use "root" as the username with the NAS admin password.

What does the top of your BTRFS.log look like?

Good point.
