RAIDiator 4.2.28 - can't enable SSH

      Hello. I need to access NAS with RAIDiator 4.2.28 by SSH to add some functionality, but can't enable SSH: no bin file passes the validation.   I've tried modules EnableRootSSH_1.0-x86 and ...

    I wouldn't have removed all the logs, just perhaps emptied ones that had grown huge (possibly after copying them to the data volume in case they were needed to investigate a problem in the future).

    Did that free up plenty of space on the 4GB root volume? Is it about 25-30% full now?

    The symptoms you are seeing now may suggest that when the root volume was full /etc/default/services was corrupted. If it was then you can copy /etc/default/config/etc/default/services to /etc/default/services on the OS volume and add the line APACHESSL=1

    You may also wish to do an OS Re-install.

Your OS partition might be getting full.  Are you seeing any expected behaviors (for instance, trouble with the admin ui, or the NAS dropping off the network)?

 

You could try deleting logs (system and backup) and then see if the validation passes.  You want EnableRootSSH_1.0-x86, not ToggleSSH.

It seems you're right about free space. I have the Syncthing module, it's working, but i can't open it's configuration page nor disable/delete module. Log page is empty.

 

Can I reset NAS state to factory defaults w/o losing all the data and the volume? There is XRAID with double redundancy.

    No you can't.

     

    How comfortable are you with linux commands?  It is possible to boot the system into tech support mode, and then telnet in.  You'd then need to mount the OS partition.  Once you've done that you can examine the fullness of the logs, and if needed truncate them, etc.
