Full root issue
I have seem some posts regarding the full root issue. How can I check the state of my root and how do I avoid running into the issue?

Full root conditions are most of the times created by badly built applications or modifying the system via SSH. This is not something you need to be particularly worried about. People come here because they have issues, I doesn't mean that every ReadyNAS owners have the same issues.
You can use SSH non-intrusively to check the status as well as via the logs (look at md0):
df -h
If you have updated to 6.7.3 and ran into the full root issue please try USB Boot Recovery with ReadyNAS OS 6.7.4 which is now available!
If you have not yet upgraded please upgrade to 6.7.4 rather than 6.7.3. If your system has already been fixed or has not run into the issue I would still suggest updating to 6.7.4 the normal way using the web admin GUI.
