Is what you refer to as the OS called Raidiator? And how would the OS partition become full?
RAIDiator is the firmware. It uses linux as the operating system, and is installed to its own partition on your disks. That partition is only 2 GB.
There are several ways for the OS partition to become full. Many involve add-ons that you don't use. However, one scenario is that a log file gets flooded with events and fills up the disk.
I want to underscore that the filling OS partition diagnosis isn't certain, it could well be something else. But if that's what it is, it is easily fixed by Netgear (booting up in tech support mode)
A factory default would also cure it, but of course you'd lose the files that didn't get backed up.

In the meantime I will try the scratch disk scenario that you suggested.
Thanks again for working with me. I really appreciate that.
