snapshots in shares not working on my ReadyNAS 314
I enabled hourly snapshots in both of my only two home folders. I now see a "snapshot" directory in each of these shares. However, no snapshots are being created. I have had snapshots enabled for ...
The folders for those two users are not home shares created by the system but rather folders you created manually somehow. That's why snapshots aren't working on them.
It came with 6.1.8 and I upgraded to 6.2.2. immediately and have since upgraded several times. I upgraded to 6.4.2 this morning. I'd be happy to get you the complete chain of upgrade history, if that helps.
Is there somewhere that explains why I'd need to create the config manually? I've having another problem that MAY be related, and understanding exactly why this is happening may solve the other issue.

You are correct. As it turns out, I'd created those manually when moving data from my NV+ to this 314. I still had the original "home directories" (which are actually btfrs subvolumes - a very important distinction, as it turns out) laying around and was able to move all my data from the manually made directories into my home directories and everything is now working. I greatly appreciate your help.
For others who may stumble upon this - one can tell which are home directories (btrfs subvolumes) by either downloading logs and inspecting "btrfs.log" or my executing the "btrfs subvolume list /home" command.
