RN102: System volume root's usage is 85%
Hi,
Today, my ReadyNAS 102 alerted me with this message: "System volume root's usage is 85%. This condition should not occur under normal conditions. Contact technical support." At the same tim...
Hi,
I had exactly the same problem. For the solution, which worked on my NAS, please refer to: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/System-volume-root-s-usage-is-84-This-condition-should-not-occur/m-p/1722230#M178435
Same here. Firmwarevers. 6.9.5
I have two 102's, one in cityflat and one in summerhouse (for backup and safety), mirror-sync'ing with Resilo, that I have configured correct!
Has worked beautifully for 4 years.
First warning was yesterday, 81%, second today 85% and only on one of them, which turned out to be te only one where I have enabled antivirus!
Besides that they are exactly the same.
I have read in one reply that I can delete the comodo temp-files, an in another that I can revert to factory settings.
Question 1: I have an MCSE+I (fairly old), but very limited unix-experience. Can someone point me to a manual or description of how to enter and work on the Netgear OS ?
Question 2: If I choose the factory reset (old Microsoft-habit ;-), can I then keep my nearly full 3TB disc, replace it with a clean HD, do the operation and then switch back to my data-disk, to avoid making a full Resilo resync of the disc.
And finally: Does anybody know when Netgear will fix this problem?

Thanks everybody, especially Guru Stephen B. who gave me the most direct and clear prescription to solve this annoying issue.
With sweatty hands and shaking soul I removed the clammy temp-files, and all is now well, and antivirus disabled.
One of my questions remain though:
Why on earth has Netgear not already recognized and handled this problem whitch is not all that new or the fault of the customers, - and their only solution when approached directly is to offer an expensive supporter-involvement!
But thanks a lot to the active and engaged community!!
When my two 102's lifespan is over I will think twice before buying another Netgear NAS.
