Could not delete share due to snapshot deletion failure.

[patdman81]

I'm trying to delete a share and keep getting an error.

Could not delete share due to snapshot deletion failure. Code: 1004030000

I have a RNDU6000 running OS v6.10.7

Any thoughts on how to resolve?

First I would double-check that the volume is not in read-only status.

Log in as root, using the admin password.

Then list the snapshots for the share with

# btrfs subvolume list -s /data | grep SHARENAME

substituting the real sharename for the placeholder of course.

Then try deleting them one at a time using

# btrfs subvolume delete -c <path>

Where <path> is the full path to the snapshot - something like /data/SHARENAME/.snapshot/NUMBER/snapshot

Note the first command won't include the /data/ bit, but the second command definitely needs it.

After the snapshots are sucessfully deleted, delete the main share from the admin web ui.  If you get an error deleting a snapshot, then post it here.

Do you have ssh enabled?  

It might be possible to find and delete the snapshots using ssh.  Another thing you could try is deleting them from the admin web ui.

I do indeed have ssh enabled.

Any thoughts which command to use?

I have not been able to delete this share via the web UI.

That did the trick!
