It should not be that full (presuming you mean the 8GB (nominal 7GB) Operating System partition.
If you mean Volume 2, and you don't (think you) have that much data, may be excess snapshots/orphaned snapshots are using the space which has happened more often than you would think.
If it is simply you need more disk space then doing that will depend on how you have your nas set up. (Raid type, occupied slots, etc)

This situation is likely caused by you accidentally choosing the system root directory as the destination for some downloads or backups.
Please try opening Terminal and entering the following command to check the occupancy of each folder in the root directory: Additionally, this should not be related to snapshots.

I just saw both of your / root system partition and volume 2 going to be full. which one you want to expand?
For the root system partition, you can't expand it, you need to remove some data you storage on this partition. For volume 2, I saw there is quite plenty space on your volume 1, you may use volume 1 for future new data storage.
