ReadyNAS Pro 6 stuck at Booting...
Help! For a few days now my Pro 6 has been hanging on the boot screen at about 5% complete. Prior to this it has been stable for the last 3 months and hapily uploading/ synchronising to the A...

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.
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

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

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
