What Happens to Snapshots When the Pool is Getting Full?

Last modified date: 2022-03-30

Applied models:

All NAS Series

Applied Firmware:

4.4.1 or above

When a Storage Pool is full, the volumes in the Storage Pool will enter read-only or read/delete mode. No more Snapshots can be taken.

To avoid that, you may enable Smart Snapshot Space Management: open Storage & Snapshots > Global Settings > Snapshot, and enable the setting.

Smart Snapshot Space Management lets you configure the Snapshots behavior when the NAS is getting full.
