Cannot copy files to RN428 even though it shows that 700GB+ is free
I have a weird problem, hope you guys can help. I have a ReadyNAS RN428 to which I cannot copy files even though there is apparently plenty of free space (although perhaps not as a percentage). ...

Hi Platypus69
We cannot comment on whether you need to balance without seeing some BTRFS statistics first :)
What error are you getting when trying to transfer? Volume full or? If that is the case, then a balance will likely sort it out but I suggest getting output of the commands below and paste it into the thread, please.
btrfs fi sh /data btrfs fi df /data
Then we can see what the filesystem looks like. You will need to log into to the NAS over SSH in order to run those commands. Cheers.

Thanks.
I am not a SSH person, so never had to do that in past with any of the RaadyNASes.
I am a Wintel guy, please don't shoot me... :smileywink:
So I have enabled SSH, but when I SSH into the RN428 I get the following error:
Creating directory '/home/administrator'. Unable to create and initialize directory '/home/administrator'. Welcome to ReadyNASOS 6.10.4 Last login: Wed Dec 23 16:20:14 2020 from p50 Could not chdir to home directory /home/administrator: No such file or directory
(BTW, then tried by explicitly creatting a user called SSH and using that account but it to generated the same error.)
And if I try running the btrfs command I got the following:
administrator@RN428:/$ btrfs fi sh /data -bash: btrfs: command not found administrator@RN428:/$
So not sure if the 2 errors are related... Sorry.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your patience.
PS:Is it easier for me to show you the btrfs log from the ZIP file you can generate?
PPS: Yes, getting error message that there is not enough free space, so volume full I expect. (Copying files from Windows environment.)

Hi again
I should have explained that the username to use, when accessing the command line over SSH, is root (not administrator). Anyhow, yes you can also just pull a fresh log-set and show me the btrfs.log file. That wil work too :)

I just need to see the first two sections in that file. Essentially, everything before this line:
=== subvolume /data ===
Cheers
