Error starting CIFS service ReadyNas Ultra
Hi,
I'm having trouble accessing my ReadyNas Ultra 2 (running RAIDiator 4.2.28) through CIFS. I've tried both through Infuse (running on Apple TV 4) and through my MacBook. Accessing through DNLA/AFP/HTTPS works perfectly fine.
The NAS is recognized both in finder and on Apple TV with CIFS protocol but can't connect to it. I've also tried adding it manually through connect to server and tried both smb://xxx.xxx.x.xxx as well as cifs://xxx.xxx.x.xxx. I've also tried to add the directory after the IP adress but always gets the message that server can't be found.
As I encountered it both on the MacBook and Apple TV I drew the conclusion that there is something off with the protocol on the NAS it self. I therefore tried rebooting the NAS without luck. I then tried to disable CIFS protocol and it stopped as planned. But now when I want to activate it again it wont start up. I'm just reached with the message "Error starting CIFS service.". What can be the issue? Any help is much appriciated!
Thanks

Do you have a backup?
Sounds like the 4GB root volume on your system might be full.thanks mdgm,
The NAS is my back-up... but the volumes seems to work fine with 2x2TB and I can access them just fine through AFP.
The root volume should not be full as I'm currently only using approx 70% of the 2TB.
How can I check and clean up the root volume?

Hi Noretor,
The system logs would show if your root volume is full.
As for the clean up, you would need to SSH to the device and access the OS partition and manually remove the files that are not supposed to be there. Normally a Level 3 engineer from NETGEAR can take care of that but the ReadyNAS has to have support warranty. Someone from the community might be able to help on the clean up.
How do I send all logs to ReadyNAS Community moderators?
