Quotas aren't the issue in this case.
However I do see errors in the logs (e.g. in systemd-journal.log) about the filesystem being forced to read-only.
If the NAS is used for primary storage of important data I'd backup that data and verify that it's good, then do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) and restore data from backup.

I was hopeing there was a way out of resetting everything, but not a big deal.... just a pain to setup all the shares again.
Do you think I could use a configuration backuip file, once I factory reset the unit?
Thanks for your time in helping me resolve the issue.
Best regards.

Yes. In any case if you have a problem with restoring a config backup you could always do another factory reset and manually reconfigure.
So it's a good idea to take some screenshots of the configuration just in case.
