Lost access to Readynas 214 via https

Problem:

So, I lost access to my readynas 214.  I can not mount the drive or access it from https:\\192.168.1.XXX. 

 

History:

Recently factory reset device after power outage (February - March).

After that it was working properly and great but said I had around 30% left.

About a week ago it got stuck for days doing a balance, after 2 days it was still at 8%

I power cycled it a Monday and it seemed to make it a little faster.

I have loaded probably 500gb on it in the last week.

I accidently turned on snapshots last week also. After the power cycle on Monday it said 10% was left.

Today i found out that i had turned on snapshots.

I changed the snapshots to weekly

I also deleted almost all of my drive (14tb of information out of 23 tb)

An hour later my device suddenly went offline.

I powercycled it form the button and restarted it.

After restart still not able to connect, but was able to SSH into the device

 

What can i do to get it back to HTTP and SMB?

    Ok just checked the actual device and it is saying

     

    out_of_memory+1dc

     


    So it crashed at that point.  You'll need to forcibly power it down, and then power it up again.

     

    The massive deletion processing is likely part of the puzzle, but it would be good to reduce the memory footprint of the NAS if you can. 

     

    File search and AntiVirus take a lot of resources, so if you don't actually need those services it would be good to disable them.  Maybe also look at system->settings->services, and see if there are any you don't actually use.  You can follow up here if you aren't sure.

     

    What apps are you running?

  • Ok i fixed it.  I guess due to the fact of the 10TB of data that i deleted, the system went into some unaccesible state while it cleaned the files off.

      Ok so it went back off again.  Unknown reason why.  What should I do if I get back in again?  Obviously I need to turn on ftp

        If you turned on snapshots and a snapshot was actually made, then cleaning off some active files isn't all you have to do.  You also need to delete the snapshots of that data.
