NAS not starting any services #25220444

I had this problem a few months ago. After installing crash plan. Two culprits filled up the Os partition. One was /tmp dir was full of stuff. The other was due to a crash plan cache dir and since crash plan is located on /usr/local, that filled up the Os partition which is not very big. I solved my problem with ssh by emptying /tmp and by moving /usr/local/crashplan to /c/.crashplan and I put a sym link from /usr/local/crashplan to there. Problem gone, crashplan works great on my ultra ever since. At some point I also upgraded ram on ultra by replacing the simm with a bigger one, as crashplan is also a memory hog.

Everyone should move the cache (which can be done with a config change, and doesn't need a symlink). Mine is ~1.8 GB - IMO too much for the OS partition..
Moving everything to the c (or \data in the case of OS6) works as long as the RAID volume is healthy. I chose not to do that myself.
