Snapshots taking a lot of space but all snapshots are disabled.
I have two Readynas 316 boxes. I have disabled all snapshots on all shares. I have removed all snapshots from the shares. The problem is one box is reporting 1.8 TB of shapshots and the other is reporting 3.17 TB of snapshots. Needless to say, I can't locate any snapshots anywhere. I can browse out to the shares via windows and still no snapshots. So, where is all that space going? Any ideas?
Found it.
Using btrfs command to delete the subvolum.
btrfs subvol delete /data/._share/name-of-folder/.snapshot/name-of-subfolder

Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
Logs sent.
I saw this thread and it resolved the issue on one of my boxes but not the other. The box that it didn't work on appears to have snapshots that belonged to an old share that isn't on the NAS any longer. How do you locate and delete those? They are located in the ._share directory. I can see the directories listed there. Of the 11 directories listed, 6 are no longer shared. An attempt to delete the old shares results in an error because they are set as read only.
Any thoughts?
