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.

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.

I'm in debug mode, great.
How to mount OS partition? There is no fdisk, how can i know partition name to mount it?
mount /dev/md0 /mnt/os won't work

Very useful guide, thank you!
So i've removed all /mnt/root/var/logs/*, rebooted the NAS and... well, something strange. Can't enable any service - CIFS, RSYNC, anything. Can't install SSH module (bin file isn't validated).
Will try again tomorrow (the NAS is in a remote place, i need to be there to reboot it to techsupport mode).
