There's your issue... /mnt/data should be empty.
Do you have replicate jobs running? It's common that it pushes data to /data even though the data volume is not mounted, filling up the OS volume.
Then, once the data volume is mounted on /data, you can no longer see what was in the folder itself but the OS volume is still full.
As you have temporarily mounted the OS volume back to /mnt, you should check what's in /mnt/data and clear it to free up space on your OS volume. WARNING: Be careful what you're doing, you want to clear /mnt/data, NOT /data (where your actual data volume is mounted)!

Thanks!
All good now, I deleted the files in /mnt/data and unmounted it again.
OS is now back to 49% full.
It turned out to be a download from usenet that was triggered when the raid was down.
Next step will be to have a lifeguard check on disk3

"Lifeguard check"?
35 thousand hours, 514 reallocated sectors, 74 pending sectors. No need to check it, it needs to be replaced. It's unfortunate I know, and it's $100, but it's time ^^

Someone marked this as a solved which I guess is fine.
However, I'm still a bit concerned about the original error message and the increase of posts in the forum with this message.
It seems to me that this error has been posted a lot more since after FW 6.6.0.
Is this just a coincidence or has anything been found by Netgear in the FW related to this?
