How do disable services from SSH on ReadyNAS 6 Pro?
After upgrading my Pro 6 to 6.10.8 (from 6.10.7), it is stuck booting at 99% and displays "google-drive.service" on the OLED screen. I'm taking from that, that this service is stopping the boot proce...

That's actually really helpful. I wasn't aware the services were started under systemctl.
of course now that I've disabled the google-drive service and reboot, it is stuck at 97% and mentions the fvbackup-q.service instead.
journalctl -u fvbackup-q -b

No errors reported though so not sure what is the issue here. Are there any boot logs I can look at?
Finally, should I perform an OS-reinstall? I don't want to lose any of the data though so I'm a little hesitant. Yes, I have a backup of most stuff but not everything at this stage. With SSH access I can at least backup everything if I can find enough storage and then try the OS reinstall.

An OS re-install won't harm your data. But I'm not convinced it will help your issue, either. It sounds to me like those programs are having trouble reading backup configuration files or the volume to be backed up. On OS re-install will fix neither of those. From SSH, can you see if the data volume is mounted at that point (I think it must be) and if it's healthy?

Also, see how full the OS partition is.

StephenB how do I check the OS partition?

Sandshark All appears ok from a data perspective. The data volume is mounted and I can traverse and read the files without any issues. What is odd though is that I've noticed a whole load of these "chunk-streamX-XXXXX.m4s" files in the root directory. No idea what they are or where they came from.
How can I tell if the data volume is healthy?
All this is since updating the firmware to 6.10.8 from 6.10.7. It was all fine before that (literally last night).

They come from Plex (remnants of transcoding), and you should delete them. That's a clue that the OS partition might be too full (As the root directory is the OS partition).

The first command is generally enough, but the additional information in the second one is sometimes helpful.
Typically it is about 30% full.

Deleted the m4s files and now it's looking like the following. Pity I didn't check this beforehand.
