ReadyNAS Pro 6 stuck at Booting...

Here's a link that might help:  https://onlyblueatwork.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/netgear-readynas-access-recovery/

Disclaimer:  I've never needed to do it myself.

Let us know how you get on. It's quite possible the problem could be a full 4GB root volume, but it could also be something else again.

I may be getting somewhere but i keep getting kicked-out

Any ideas?

scrub that last comment - i was being a muppet!

Now i'm using telnet i'm in and have successfully mounted the drive

/dev/md0 is size 4.90G, used 2.9G Available 721.1M 81% used

is this full enough to prevent booting - i seem to recall in recent times it has been at about the 70-80% level....

thanks

steve

It is still quite full - mine runs at ~40% full with Crashplan installed.

Check the inode usage also (df . -i)

when i run df -i it returns 

df: invalid operation --i

does this mean the coreutils is not up to date?

i'm very rusty with linux so i'll need to look up some navigation commands before i go hunting around for the space-wasting files.

do you know where i'm likley to find the log files (most likely for amazon cloud sync) (and how to navigate there!)

thanks again

Steve

You need a path (which I left out).  For instance df . -i ought to give you the inode usage of the file system you are in.

I still have a problem running this

# cd
# pwd
/root
# df  . -i
df: invalid option -- i
BusyBox v1.24.1 (2016-09-16 09:58:20 PDT) multi-call binary.

Usage: df [-PkmhT] [FILESYSTEM]...

I did manage to get ls -i working though

if these are any help

Bingo!

It's working now!

The worst files seemed to be in my squeezebox lib folder

artwork - 200Mb, and

spotify cache - 150Mb

I deleted both of these and it seems to be booting-up fine now.

I've ssh'd back in and the 4G partition is now at 71% which is higher than i'd like so i'll do a bit more digging over the next few days 

But i'm just relieved to have got it back up 

Thanks v much StephenB
