ReadyNas snapshots disapeared after 6.5 upgrade

I was unable to delete some older snapshots.  They were taking up almost 7TB of space.  So I upgraded the firmware.  Now I cant see those older snapshots but the system still shows that snapshots are...

    It might be recomputing the quotas.  I'd stay with the deletions (oldest snapshots first).  You can delete more than one at a time.

So I ran the following:

 

# touch /.force_snapshots_upgrade
# systemctl restart readynasd

That broght back the old snapshots but now my readynas is terribly slow.  Unusably slow.

Have you tried deleting the snapshots again?

    I am in the process.  They do delete but it takes forever for eachone to delete.  At this rate it will take me the rest of the day to get them all deleted.

        I got all those old ones deleted and everything is running smoothly now.  The space from the snapshots hasn't been reclaimed though.
