Hello again,
I decided to learn a bit about ssh so I logged on the nas via ssh, and did the command to force upgrade the snapshots to v6.80.
Then it made the snapshots to appear again, then I deleted them and redid a balance.
Snapshot place is now completely free =)
I am happy, issue solved =)
The button appeared when I loged in, and I did it just after my prevous answer. But I didn't find the option to delete a post ^^
If the solution may help someone here is the exact walkthrough.
Invisible snapshots taking place ?
Install the little software "Putty".
Activate "SSH" on the web admin page of ReadyNas.
Lauchn Putty and connect to the Nas local IP with log "Root // youradminpassword "
Type :
# touch /.force_snapshots_upgrade # systemctl restart readynasd
Close Putty.
Reboot your Nas.
Nas will upgrade your snapshots.
Desactivate SSH.
Your snapshots will now appear and can be manually deleted.
Delete all then do a "Balance".
Reboot the Nas.
Profit your HDD new place =D
