RN314 - OS partition full?
Hi I went to log into my NAS admin page and it didn't work, just went into a loop asking again for my credentials. I tried to SSH in via putty, and also windows: ssh root@ip-address. Access ...
If you don't have a backup of your data, then considering doing that before anything else.
Perhaps try downloading the logs from RAIDar next: https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar
It is possible to get into the NAS via tech support mode, and then mount and explore the OS partition. But if you can get the logs first, then we'd know if the OS partition was full (or if you are dealing with something else).
Was ssh enabled in system->services?
Hi
I managed to log in using Terminal. ssh root@ IP
Any ideas what to type from here to figure it out?
Thanks
***edit*** I got a bit excited when I finally managed to access. I've DLed Raidar and will download the logs, it's very slow, but perhaps it will be done by the morning...
"Download process failed" and "connecting to ReadyNAS is say on 0%.
Via SSH: if I do
cd /bin
df -h
would that likely be a slow process?

Start with
root@NAS:~# mount --bind / /mnt root@NAS:~# du -d1 -h /mnt 6.4M /mnt/bin 0 /mnt/boot 24K /mnt/dev 11M /mnt/etc 0 /mnt/home 33M /mnt/lib 4.0K /mnt/lib64 0 /mnt/media 4.6M /mnt/opt 0 /mnt/proc 36K /mnt/root 0 /mnt/run 11M /mnt/sbin 0 /mnt/srv 0 /mnt/sys 0 /mnt/tmp 297M /mnt/usr 671M /mnt/var 0 /mnt/mnt 0 /mnt/data 0 /mnt/apps 30M /mnt/frontview 1.1G /mnt root@NAS:~#That will tell you if the OS partition is in fact full (and you can compare my results with yours, to see where the problem might be).
Entering umount /mnt will undo the mount.
so I type this first? It didnt seem to do anything
mount --bind / /mnt
