Error message "System volume root usage is 90%"
Out of the blue sky I get this message from my ReadyNAS RN628X: "System volume root usage is 90%. This condition should not occur under normal conditions. Contact technical support.". What does this ...

In this folder there is also a file called core-readynasd (way lesser in size by the way) can I delete that file as well without consequences?
Yes.

There's no bullet-proof check. If you can see the shares list in the admin web ui, you are probably ok. Also look in system->settings->services and make sure the services you use are all marked with the green bar.
As it seemed to be very important to free up space as soon as possible and my colleague was able to assist remotely I was able to delete the 2.4G file (aurndb-write-db).
I noticed by the way that it was in the folder /var/cores and not in /cores only as I mentioned before. In this folder there is also a file called core-readynasd (way lesser in size by the way) can I delete that file as well without consequences? In my previous message I mentioned that the files were created following the message in the log: "ReadyNASOS service or process (aurndb-write-db,readynasd) was restarted". The only thing what happened at that time was that my back-up jobs were started and cancelled due to a lot of retries as the line between my RN628X was of a very bad quality because of an internet connection issue on the receiving RN628X. I am putting this here as it might be something that Netgear or someone else can look at to come to a root cause and solution for me but others as well so that this does not happen again in the future. One last question: I was warned that with no space available I run the risk that the NAS configuration files can get corrupted. Is this something I can check if this corruption already occured?

Thank you for the great help StephenB which is much appreciated. I deleted the file core-readynasd as well and have disabled SSH again. To me it seems that all the shares are still there and also the services that I had activated seems to be complete (and green) as such I hope nothing got corrupted. Thanks, Ronald
