"Not enough space on NAS..."
**Can't find the correct thread to post this in, so please move it if it shouldn't be in here** Problem: I'm unable to transfer large files onto my NAS2000, I keep getting the not enough space erro...
Where are you seeing this error message? On the NAS (logs, Frontview, RAIDar)? Or on your PC when trying to copy over?
If it's on the NAS, I suspect it's actually the root volume that's full, not the data volumes. This issue can arise when a log file goes nuts and starts to fill up the root which is only 4 GB.
If you're familiar with linux and have SSH installed, you can check the status of the root volume by issuing the df -h command:
In the above example, /dev/md0 is the root volume (indicated by / under the "Mounted on" column) and /dev/c/c is my data volume (2.7 TB) mounted on /c.
If you're not familiar with linux, contact support and they should be able to help.
