Cant acceess shares in WIN 7 / 10
Hi, Iam using a Ready NAS Duo V1 and all was working fine for a long time now. But some days ago it disappeared in the file explorer and also in the network overview. I can access the NAS...
That is the data volume. The OS is 4 GB (NOT TB), and you can only see it with ssh,
ssh into the box, and enter
df . -h
df . -I
Sorry for my late reply I was on a business trip
df . -h

That is full. What you need to do now is find out where the space is going.
You can start by looking more closely at /var/log and /var/cache - usually the problem is in one of those two. The cache can simply be emptied, over-sized log files should be truncated. (echo > /var/log/logfilename for instance).
If you have installed the plex server on the NAS, then you should see if its databases, etc are being saved on the OS partition. Anything that uses a lot of space should be stored somewhere on /c/. It is possible to create a share for apps on the data volume, then create subfolders in it that correspond to folders on the OS partition. Then copy the data with ssh, and replace the original OS folder with a soft link to the new apps folder. For instance ln -s /c/apps/subfolder /usr/local/subfolder will create a subfolder soft link to /c/apps/subfolder in /usr/local.
I really appreciate you help but I dont really get why a full OS partition shall raise the problems I have?
With OSx I find the NAS and I can also connect but not with Windows. Plex is also installed on a single Raspberry 3.
So your problem solution seems als little weird for me ;-).
When the OS partition gets full, a variety of services start misbehaving. SAMBA/SMB is one of them. Your OS partition is certainly nearly full, and if you don't take care of that it will brick your NAS (though Netgear support can still break in and fix it).
Basically you need to take care of the full OS, and then see what problems remain.

In order to help, is there a breakdown of which folders are part of the OS parition and which are not under the /data folder but still not part of the OS paritiion? your symbolic links suggestion is gold but i know i am concerned about some stuff that may not be counted as OS partiion anyway.
So what I did now to gain some space was very pragmatic.
I disabled the DLNA plugin and deleted the database file and also the fetched pictures. That got me some space back and Iam unsing now only 75% aof the OS partition.
That means imho that all issues caused by an full OS partition should have been gone after the reboot.
But they aren`t still SMB/CIFS isnt working. So the full OS partition was not causing the problem.
What I tried was to map the ftp as an folder but that wasnt working either. So I tried to map it over the DYDNS I use for external access and that was working.
I can ping the NAS on its IP in the network and get a fast response but I cant ping the ip on the port like 192.168.178:21.
Neighter I can map the shares via WEBDAV. I can access it via Crhome over the DYDNS but cant map it as an folder via windows.
