losing connection to ReadyNAS Duo

I am running ReadyNAS DUO and lately started experiencing connection issues. All of sudden I can't access my shares from any system on the network. I am getting the following error.
---------------------------
Restoring Network Connections
---------------------------
An error occurred while reconnecting V: to
\\readynas\Data
Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use.
This connection has not been restored.

I still have access to the web management interface and Netgear reboot will solve the problem. Sometimes the fix stays for only few hours and sometimes it's good for days.

Any ideas of what's going on?

    Your OS partition is almost completely full. So you need to find which files are filling it.

    Try
    ls -l -h /
    ls -l -h /var/logs


    If /var/logs is not where the problem is, you can use the ls -l -h / command to find the biggest directory.

    Then search that directory until you find where the problem is.
  • Thank you Stephen. I found the offending file upnp-av.log was nearly 1.6Gb. Here is the new output. Hopefully this solves the problem. Thank you for your help.
