Frontview broken after root filesystem full (case #22311708)

Hello everybody!

An overflow in my logfiles after trying to configure iscsi has resultet in a full root disk on my ultra 4+. I managed to get into the system via ssh and get rid of the logfiles in question, but ever since then my frontview is broken. broken as in settings that won't stick, config pages only showing up partially (streaming services) etc.

i've tried upgrading to the latest firmware, as well as resetting the firmware from the boot menu, but unfortunately nothing seems to help.

I've now opened a support call, but i was wondering if someone has an idea as to what i could do by myself.

thanks in advance

Majello

  • as to the content of /etc/default/services, which i managed to forget about: oh my!
    (i just did a quick compare with my old ultra 2 box.)

    any pointers on how to proceed, or whether there is anything else i should check?

    i still count it as a good sign if i forget system details because something only breaks when i'm being stupid.
    i still love my readynas, even if the greed for shiny features sometimes feels overwhelming.

    Your /etc/default/services doesn't look as long as it should.

    Try

    mv /etc/default/services /etc/default/services.old
    cp -pf /etc/default/config/etc/default/services /etc/default/services
    vi /etc/default/services

    Using vi be sure to add some missing lines back such as

    APACHESSL=1
    SSH=1


    Alternatively cat the /etc/default/config/etc/default/services file and add some of the missing lines from that to your /etc/default/services file using vi

    Or you could look at the file on another NAS like you have done.

    For DLNA, the UPNP entries would be the relevant ones.
  • do i need to worry about addons? and if yes, where would the best place be to get a list of them?
  • also, i was under trhe impression that i could configure teaming (or something along these lines) before. was i mistaken? or does it only show up if i actually have the second nic connected?
