Pro not booting after downloading log files

I tried downloading the logs files with frontview. After this my ReadyNas Pro 6 hung and was not responsive anymore. I choose to force shutdown and reboot the NAS. Now the NAS is displaying Booting.. but nothing happens. I think the log files has filling up the OS volume. I can Telnet and login to the ReadyNas in tech Mode but I can not find the log files. The only filesystem I have is the tmpfs.

# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 10240 0 10240 0% /dev
#


I already tried the OS reinstall but that didn't help. I have firmware version 4.2.26

Any advice or suggestion?

Many thanks.

  • Thanks StephenB and mdgm for your help.

    I have started the RAID and mount /dev/md0. Where can I find the log files?

    # df
    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    tmpfs 10240 0 10240 0% /dev
    /dev/md0 4176564 2014504 1952400 51% /mnt

    With kind regards.
