Hello Brian, thanks for the message.
Yes, I did check that article.
In my initial post, when I was refering to "The "emergency" button in the shares/browse is nowhere to be found", I was in fact talking about the recovery mode.
Sorry about that, I had not the article on view at the moment I wrote my post.
As shown in the screenshot, the recovery button () is not there.
For the moment, the NAS is still up.
Crossing my fingers it stays that way.
Regards.
Thierry.

I also found that deleting all snapshots fix it for me too.
Here's a script I wrote that did it for me :manhappy:
share=$1 for snapshot in `rn_nml -Q snapshot:/data/$share | grep Snapshot_Name | cut -c30-39` do rn_nml -d snapshot:/data/$share@$snapshot:1 done
Save this into a file and then use by passing the share name as parameter. But please use the above script with caution, you might want to try the commands individually first. It basically queries for all snashots for the given share, cuts out the ID and then deletes them one at a time. Saved my LOTS of time.

Thanks TonyKL,
I'll be keeping this handy.
Would I had knew where to look, I would have gone that way.
It would have avoided 2 hours of clicky clicky to get ride of the snapsots.

The article linked to by BrianL above has been corrected now. It is useful in that it allows you to delete multiple snapshots at once. Note that deleting multiple snapshots at once can be an intensive task and may impact performance on a NAS.
