Cannot log into Linux console
Running latest OS6.10.1 I want to log into Linux console to troubleshoot log files. Connected monitor to HDMI out. Connected keyboard to rear USB port. Enabled SSH in GUI. I get the login prompt....
Username root, password same as the ReadyNAS admin account.

thanks. Now that I am in, I need to access my logs. i cannot download them using the UI. sorry but i do not know Linux.
I think my volume might be filling or maybe errors. Nothng shows in the UI logs.

Did you download the log zip file from the log page in the admin web ui? If not, then start there.
You'll need to use journalctl to access the logs. There's a lot of stuff there, so you might find it easier to search for specific stuff
# journalctl --no-pager | grep -i 'search string'
For example you can use 'btrfs' as the search string to look for file system errors.
Google on "journalctl" to find more options.

Why are you thinking that? Can you give us more info on the symptoms you are seeing?
- I already tried to download the log from the UI. It just times Out. I tried multiple ways multiple browsers. Nothing works. My only concern was that my system would hang every seven or eight days when the virus checking was running. I have since turned off virus checking and system is running fine. Someone suggested I use the Linux interface to check the logs in detail. The search in the journal did not show any records
What apps do you have installed (if any)?
Have you checked to see if the OS system is full?
You can just run journalctl -r and page until you see something interesting I guess. The -r option reverses the sort order (so the newest entries appear first).
