Bogus error: There is not enough space on the disk
OK, this has me mystified, and I'm frankly getting a bit desperate - I sincerely hope someone can help me out with this!
I have my entire iTunes music library on my NV+ (over 30,000 files), and tonight I decided to update the album art on a single track. After I did that I tried to listen to the track and it simply wouldn't play - iTunes would just skip over it but other tracks played just fine. When I looked at the "info" for the track the album art I had just pasted in showed as a tiny dot rather than a 400x400 image. After mucking about with it a while I finally decided it had gotten corrupted (it wouldn't play in WinAmp either), so I deleted it from iTunes and found another copy. When I tried to add the new copy to my music library iTunes told me that there wasn't enough space and it would copy what it could, which ended up being nothing. Well THAT made me suspicious so I started looking around at my NV+...
First of all, you should know that sometime after my backup last night there was a message in the logs about how there was a "read error on channel (??)" that it said could have affected parity, so I shut down with the quota and filesystem check boxes checked and let them run. Once it came back I tried to drop my new copy of the song into iTunes and got the error message again.
I went to my X: drive (mapped to my share on the NV+) and everything looked fine, including the fact that the MP3 I deleted in iTunes is gone (though still on the FreeAgent I back up to). Just for the heck of it I tried to create a new directory off the root of the X: drive and got "There is not enough space on the disk" from Windows (XP 32-bit fully patched). There was about 47GB free on my quota, but just for the heck of it I moved some space from someone else's quota to mine so I'm at .99TB used and 126GB free, but I still get the same error message.
I deleted a couple GB of junk out of a subdirectory, and I still get the same error message.
I performed a volume resynch. When it was done I tried to create a directory again and still got the same error message.
In desperation I tried a firmware update to the T60 beta, and I still got the same error message.
And since I've been saying I tried to create a folder in the root directory and I just knew someone would call me out on it, I tried to create a subdirectory in a subdirectory and got the error message there too.
For the record:
I've been running these four 500GB Hitachi drives (HDS725050KLA360) since I got the NV+ several years ago. They all show healthy, though #2 had 2 sectors relocated a month or two ago.
Until tonight I'd been on firmware 4.1.6 since sometime last year.
The last time I changed a file on the NV+ was early October when I added some new music. I did NOT get any errors at the time!
Frontview says "X-RAID, 4 disks, 68% of 1363 GB used".
Disc #2 SMART shows 2 reallocated sectors, 1 pending sector, and 1 "Lp Stat event", whatever that is...

- I would reformat the disk if you've backed up the contents. 2GB is the capacity of the OS partition.
- Unfortunately, that doesn't sound like it would help me at all. The full amount of space shows up when I'm connected as the admin user, so clearly the NAS is seeing all of it and just doesn't want to admit it when I connect as a normal user.
- Bump
- I had the same error message when trying to copy files to my ready nas duo, which is mapped as a network drive. The properties of the network drive showed that 100GB are used and 200GB are still available, which was according to my settings (user-quota 300GB). Even setting the user-quota to 0 (unlimited) didn't help. Being logged in as administrator (Windows7) allowed me to copy files on the ready nas again, as mentioned above.
Finally I found out that there is a group-quota besides the user-quota. Every user automatically is assigned to the group "users", which has a quota of 100GB. It seems that every user is subject to the the group-quota in the first place. Setting the group-quota to 0 solved the problem in my case. It seems that the user-quota now became the "true limit". - Holy ^%$!#!
Thank you dagoda!
I have been beating my head against the wall for more than a week dealing with this issue. It's never been a problem in the previous 5 years I've used the ReadyNAS.
I know this is old, but I googled for a long time to find your solution.
Thanks - I don't know if this applies, but I had a problem with a "full disc" even though the NAS reported the share to be half full.
What my problem was, in conjunction with a Netgear techie, was that when I streamed videos to my playstation, it buffered the files somewhere, and didn't delete them. Just got me thinking since you said you had your iTunes files there.
The only solution here was a OS reinstall though
