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 DNL...
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?
Regards,

If you are the original purchaser you should be able to purchase per-incident support even if the warranty has expired. So you might want to look into that at my.netgear.com.

Downloading the system logs is a bit dangerous at this point - if the root volume is full, then the transfer will probably fail. And it could make the NAS unbootable.
If the NAS is truly your backup, then you could do a factory reset (rebuilding the NAS from scratch, and then copying the data back onto it). That is time-consuming, but will resolve the problem.
Is SSH enabled on the NAS?
