Thanks to stephen for his diagnosis and to mdmd for his intervention, my problem has been solved very fast and without any data loose.
One last question: since 2 or 3 weeks it was impossible to shut down the nas with frontview. I had to press the power button. I did not take care of this matter but I'm now wondering if it wasn't the first symptoms of the full OS partition.What is your opinion about that ?
Thank you again and have a good day.

I think that's likely. Though perhaps test it now that the OS has been cleaned.
BTW, the v1 ReadyNAS are getting pretty dated. Though they seem to keep on ticking, at some point it will actually fail. Plus the newer NAS have better performance, and Netgear is no longer providing security updates for the legacy NAS.
So you might want to plan for an upgrade - perhaps keeping your tried-and-true v1 as a backup NAS until it finally falls apart. I've done that with my own v1 (NV+ and duo).

I will try. Maybe it could allowed me to anticipate if the problem should recur.
You are right, time to consider replacing that NAS is coming but (unfortunately) the WAF of this idea has to be checked before
.Using the old one as a backup will improve the current situation. For the moment I use several USB drives and it's a bit tedious. The result is that the backup is not 100% up to date all the time.
Knowing that the performance of the NV+ is not far to be sufficient for my use (except capacity but I suppose that it follows the today drives ones) Which model (4 bays) would you recommend ?
