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 vol...

/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.

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

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.

You shouldn't have anything in /mnt/data since it is a mount point.
First check ./KentandMing - that also should be deleted, but you might first need to copy it somewhere.
When you are sure there is nothing you want, then this should remove everything in it.
cd /mnt/data
rm -rf *
Just be careful that you are in the right folder!
