ReadyNas Ultra 6 Snapshots on v6.9.4

I currently have an ReadyNas Ultra 6 that I have upgraded to run 6.9.4.

I have 3 x 3TB HDD (with 1 running as a redundant drive, so 6TB of space available).

Currently the GUI is telling me that I have 2.5TB used in Snapshots. But I haven’t taken any Snapshots.

I have just gone through a disables all Snapshots, and done a Disk Balance to no availe. In fact, once the Disk balance finished, I had even more space used in Snapshots.

Please help me delete these Snapshots as they are taking up a lot of space.

Hi bakthomas

You may want to check this thread, this might be helpful. Also, try to check if you have snapshots stored so you can delete them. Here is an article for that.

Also, disabling quota on volume level might be of help.

Hope this helps!

  Thanks Marc, I had previoucly found both of the articles, and they haven't helped.
  
  I think the problem is that my Snapshots weren't ugraded when I upgraded my version.
  
  This is my current volume size:
  
  This is my share listing
  
  This is what the snapshots looks like
  
  This is what it looks like when i select a specific folder
  
  So, I have a whole bunch of data used in Snapshots, but nowhere to see it.
  
  I have tried a balence, a scrub, and I have even tried the following through SSH:
  
  touch /. force_snapshots_upgrade
  systemctl restart readynasd
  
  But I never see the GUI say that and update is happening.
  
  I am at a complete loss as to what to do.
  
  This is my current version, I have been uprading whenever an update become available (it was originally on 4.x)
