3. I advise you to set snapshot pruning occurs when the volume reaches a used capacity of 80%. (System -> Volumes -> Volume Settings -> Snapshot Pruning)

    Your NAS is RN214, it is arm platform,

    You had better accessthe file system directly, 

    I suggest you not use iSCSI on arm platform, because arm CPU performance is lower than x86.
