Pro 6 on 4.2.30 suddenly reported Volume dead
Hi All, I'm at a complete loss as the current issue I'm experiencing is unlike anything I can lookup. Any help or ideas would greatly greatly be appreciated as from what I can tell the data is there...

It is almost certainly Crashplan. The Crashplan people pushed out 4.8.0 to my Pro last week, and that filled my OS partition too.
So look in /usr/local/crashplan/upgrade first. You'll likely see a bunch of failed downloads that need to be cleared out. After that you need to resolve the upgrade problem.
To get the upgrade to work on my system I had to turn off certificate checks as described here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Backing-up-to-your-ReadyNAS/Crashplan-4-6-0-upgrade-failing-and-solution/td-p/1066600
You can do that with
cd $home
echo "check_certificate = off" >.wgetrc
Also, if you haven't moved /usr/local/crashplan/cache you should. That can take up a lot of space.
I created a cache folder in /c/ and used the procedure here; https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/4/Troubleshooting/Reassigning_Cache_Folder_To_A_Different_Directory
If you edit the file on a windows PC, be careful that you use an editor that can preserve linux txt file formating. I use notepad++.

Thank you StephenB will try that and update the thread. I remember when Crashplan suddenly stopped working last year because of an update to the way it handled security I wasn't aware about and was tons of digging around to figure out the fix. So I guess its the yearly Crashplan issue haha...
I had to travel for work so when I'm back at end of the week I'll go and do some major spring cleaning... very much appreciate sharing your experience. I wouldn't have thought that its possible a filled boot partitiion could wreck so much havoc!
