ReadyNAS 104 System Volume Root Storage 98%
I have received the following alert message:-
System volume root's usage is 98%. This condition should not occur under normal conditions. Contact technical support.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks

You can try emailinng support, not sure if you can get a good response in time. I'm tagging the mods, in case they are willing to help - Mark_V and JeraldM
If this continues, the NAS configuration files can become corrupted, and you will almost certainly lose access.
- Make sure you have an up-to-date backup of your files.
- What firmware are you running?
- What apps are installed on the ReadyNAS?
- Do you have any experience with the linux command line interface (ssh)?

Thank you. I looked through some other similar discussions and I seem to have resolved the problem by deleting a number of Temp files form the root of the NAS. No further alert messages received since.

Good. Normally the root is about 25% full - if you are substantially over that, then you might want to analyze it some more.
