Not really, ls -i shows the inode for each file, but it doesn't give you the number of inodes used.
If you use dlna, then go into /var/cache and delete the contents of the dlna cache folder.
Then perhaps just try booting again.
did you try booting "read-only"?
How do you do that? the only boot options i was aware of are:
Your storage system has the following boot modes:
- Normal. Initiates a normal boot process, just like booting using the Power button.
- Factory default. ...
- OS reinstall. ...
- Tech support. ...
- Skip volume check. ( ...
- Memory test. ...
- Disk test.
I could be wrong here, since I am not running OS 6 on my pro. But my understanding was that the conversion process also upgraded the boot loader. Perhaps mdgm-ntgr will chime in.
Maybe try the boot menu, and see what options are presented on the LCD??? If you don't see the "volume read-only", then maybe try "Skip Volume Check".
Going in via tech support mode might be needed to assess the OS partition - you can then log in via telnet and manually mount it. But that's messy.
I can't see a read-only option and running the 'skip volume check' it still hangs on boot and it not accessable from ssh.
are there any instructions for how to go in via tech support mode?
thanks
