Hi,It's a long story, but I'll just basically state where I am now. My Frontview v4.1.13 interface looks like this: Everything is working, ie: shares etc, but I only got this far after forcing an OS re-install from holding the reset button in for 5 seconds after pressing the power button. I think the interface loaded ok once, but never again.I luckily had installed SSH plugin ages ago, so I have SSH access to the box via Putty, but my Linux knowledge unfortunately isn't quite up there with my Windows Server and network infrastructure knowledge :( Could anyone give me some guidelines as to how to get this sorted please, and if you are going to throw Linux commands at me, please go easy. I can copy/paste ok :) but I have no knowledge apart from basic ls rm rmdir etcMANY THANKS IN ADVANCE,Sharpey,

Have you cleared the browser cache and reloaded the Frontview page?

Hi there, thanks for the quick reply. Yes I've tried that, tried in-private browsing, and in fact, tried 3 different browsers. I think the issue is a little deeper than this I'm afraid :(

Yes I thought so too. Hang on a while ,there may be someone here who can help you.

600 gb isn't that much.In case you don't find a solution, or the solution is to factory default, why don't you start copying it?You should really have a backup anyway.

Here's the dilemma: (and sorry for not detailing the configuration, on the opening question), I have a 2x2TB drive raid, so to copy all the data I'd have to factory reset the box, and mount one drive in Linux Reader and copy it back.
But I'm not sure the FR will work, so I'd father fix it... whilst learning something along the way.

As requested via PM, please follow this link for my logs. It does show missing files for the UI....

My advice to copy the data was based on your initial post where you said the shares were working. I assumed you meant you could access the shares over the network?

Your OS partition is full. Probably due to a large log file.

NAS:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc1 1.9G 2.0G 13M 100% /

You can check e.g. using

# du -csh /var/*
# du -csh /var/log/*
# du -csh /var/log/frontview/*
# du -csh /var/log/frontview/backup/*

You may wish to copy the offending log file to somewhere on your data volume then do e.g.

# echo "" > /var/log/frontview/error.log

If /var/log/frontview/error.log is the huge log file.

I pulled one drive out to make sure I could read it on my PC via Linux reader. This drive is still in my PC. As far as I'm concerned, my data isn't at risk as I can also access the same data on the nas from the other drive. I ideally need to fix the UI, rather than having to factory reset it (which may not even work).
