When did this problem start?
Did you make changes (e.g. update the firmware) shortly before the problem started?
How full is your data volume?

Problem startet in February 2018 (Where my last Update was made- but it should be daily)
I recognized the process failed after watching for something else in the windows report, and because of the old backup files.
Readynas
- FW: 6.9.3
- dust freed
Data Volume:
- 4 x 1 TB WD Red something which is to use with this NAS . i checked tripple
- XRAID
- data 1,39 TB
- Snapshots: 516.28 GB
- Free Space: 838.51 GB
- Total ~ 2,73 TB
- Type: Raid 5
-TRIED STUFF-
* switch off Bit-Rot from every share
* defrag
* delete snapshots
* switch samba protocols (smb 2 /3 ) ((installed samba plus for that)
* scrubing
* new users
* iperf (works great)
* write I/O internal 54 MB/s
* write from Network 29 MB/s
* read from Network 55MB/s
-> wbadmin backup stream ~ 240 GB
Trying at the moment:
* balancing
process which takes 100% load "brtfs-transacti "
why a transaction on the file system stopps the whole samba process by sucking away the power ?
-> Priority?
Hope I could feed you with Infos.
PC:
Intel i5 somewhat
Network works great to other devices
The SambaProcess slows and fastens by occupied and free cpu % power
Can someone stabilize this **bleep** ?
-> Controlling Application Consumption
Sorry I am an intermediate linux user / advanced windows user - but when you use a Marvel ARM Board with 1,2 GHz then optimize it. Every process going wild at that thing.

If you haven't balanced the volume in a long time that can take a long time. You'll want to let the balance complete before you try other things.
Have you tried disabling "strict sync" in the SMB settings for the share to see if that helps?

You could also try disabling quota and checksums from the volume settings wheel.
