ReadyNAS 314 snapshots set to Never, but logs show snapshot activity

[mdelude]

Hello all,

I have two ReadyNAS 314 that have log entries like those below. The Productions share's snapshot schedule is set to Never but still a snapshot is created and then removed on a 2-hours basis. Every other share is also set to Never have snapshots but they are also in the logs, each with its own schedule. I don't think the snapshots are taking up storage, but their creation seems to cause performance issues. Firmware is 6.4.2 but the issue occurred on 6.4.0 and 6.4.1. Any ideas about how to address?

Thanks for the logs.

You can ignore this harmless error. It is a known issue and we plan to address this in a future release (it won't be addressed in 6.5.0).

do you have backup jobs running at those times?

[mdelude]

Yes, my manager reminded me that we have NAS-NAS replication between the devices, and those jobs accidentally included snapshots. I've just disabled them, so I'll keep an eye on the logs.

Thank you Stephen,

Mike D.

The snapshots are disabled in the ReadyNAS Replicate service. That stopped the log entries about snapshots being created, but the logs still have this type of entry. The timing is about 20-25 minutes after each replication begins. Ideas?

Can you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

[mdelude]

The logs have been sent as directed in the signature link.

mdgm, I received a notice that my company's email filter saw something in the logs that it thought was a credit card number. The message was held and instead you would have received a link to login to the filter and download the logs. If you cannot work with that please let me know and I'll figure out a way to get the logs to you.
