Jan 19, 2019Downloaded log is empty (RN426)
Fortunately, that does not always happen. This morning I downloaded the logs three times and ended up with two files having zero length and finally one successful download with about 1.5MB containing everything as expected.
Did anybody observe something like this and does somebody have an explanation for that behaviour?
Thanks for feedback and kind regards

All fine for two weeks now. I blame it on the browser. Thanks for your input anyways, StephenB .

What firmware are you running, and what browser are you using?
One potential cause is a full OS partition - the NAS assembles and zips the logs prior to download, and if there isn't enough space then of course the download will fail in some way. Not very likely in your case, since you are well aware of the limited space in the OS partition.

Thanks for your reply, StephenB. You wrote "What firmware are you running, and what browser are you using?"
The Firmware is 6.9.4HF1 and my browser was Firefox 64.0.2 at the time of the downloads.
The volume log's section "=== df -h ===" says
"/dev/md0 4.0G 879M 2.8G 24% /",
which is the OS partition to my understanding and a usage of 24% should not be a problem at all.
Just let me know your conclusions, please.

The OS partition looks fine. Do you have ssh enabled?
