ReadyNAS 516 just upgraded to 6.7.1 and data volume has not loaded
Hi,
I just installed 6.7.1 and on re-boot the primary data volume has not loaded - and suggests removing the inactive volume.
I have two volumes, one of 6 drives in the RN516, this was a raid 6 volume called 'data' it was encrypted, and the usb key has always and is still in the NAS. (no problems rebooting any other time).
The 2nd volume is 5 drive volume in the EDA, called 'eda1', also raid6 and also encrypted. This volume has loaded fine and unlocked the encryption.
/data-0/.timemachine was a subvolume, so a regular deletion didn't work. I removed the subvolume and directory, and now everything is mounted normally.

Most likely it's transmission.
You are ignoring a lot of folders (/usr, /lib, /etc), and it is also possible that the data was written "underneath" a mount point (particularly /apps)
Try mounting the OS partition as /mnt, and then explore /mnt. That will solve the data "underneath" problem.
# mount --bind / /mnt
When done
# umount /mnt
- kentdTutorDone

Did you use the mount command given by StephenB?
mount --bind / /mnt
Then look inside it:
cd /mnt du -d1 -h
It will tell you which is the biggest folder, then cd into it and re-run:
cd <big_folder> du -d1 -h
Repeat the operation until there is no more big folder, only the total is big, which means it's big file(s) in the current directory, then:
ls -lhS
When you're finished cleaning up the big files, unmount the temporary bind:
cd umount /mnt
- kentdTutor
ok, here is the big folder ./controlc-wpbackup - this must have been written to here by an internal backup job rather than the data volume.

how do i just delete it? - its only a wordpress site backup and can go.
- kentdTutorYes log files have been sent
- jak0lantashMentor
"df -i" is irrelevant on a RN516 as both the data volume and the OS volume use BTRFS.
Does it boot now? Is your data volume blue?
- kentdTutor
Hi, the unit reboots but the primary data volume is still not loading.
Is it because its not md126, or because it is encrypted too? (yes the USB with the encryption key is still in - and hasnt been removed)
