Another case of a full OS partition
Hi, After being a happy customer of a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 for 2 years now, I decided to buy another ReadyNAS, so I could use one as backup-target of the other. I bought a ReadyNAS PRO 6 as these are ...
The OS partition is relatively small (2 GB-4 GB depending on the platform). Over time the log files can cause it to fill. Periodically deleting the system and backup logs therefore will help.

I've also submitted a ticket and hope it will be fixed quickly. I just wanted to report this here, since I'd like to understand what causes this issue and why it has not been fixed even despite it occurring so frequently.
Cheers,

However, sometimes an error condition can rapidly generate very large log files. Also, some add-ons (for instance ReadyDLNA) use space on the OS partition.
Therefore the only way to prevent the OS partition from ever filling would be to make it impossible for any applications to write to the OS partition. I don't see that ever happening. Though it would be helpful if Frontview would report on the free space on the OS partition and send email alerts when it starts filling. That would give users a chance to address it before the ReadyNAS locks up.
