How are you using the iSCSI? Is it a Windows file share, VMs or backup?
Depending on how it is being used may determine recommendations.

its one big iSCSI LUN being used for veeam backup and replication. There is a single veeam proxy windows (2012) machine connected to it.
- OOM-9Jul 29, 2015NETGEAR ExpertIt would typically be recommended to keep the volume closer to 80% of volume capacity. There are general performance and reliability issues that may come up if you exceed that threshold.
This is normally not the best option if data is already on the iSCSI. Other options that you can look at changing to help in these cases; disable the checksum that is under the [System/Volumes/Volume Properties/Settings/Summery] and under disable bit rot protection under [Shares/{share} Settings/Properties]
There can be more things that we could go into, but these items are the more common items that had issues similar to what you have mentioned.- mdgm-ntgrJul 29, 2015NETGEAR Employee Retired
Can you send your logs in (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

I can see from the logs that you last factory defaulted this unit on 6.0.8 in late 2013
We have better default settings when creating LUNs now.
You used continuous protection on the LUN though with the volume this full this protection would no longer be in effect even if it were still enabled.
Did you try OOM-9's suggestions?
