RN4220X shows 3TB free of 36TB volume but file writes report no free space
Hi, One of our ReadyNAS 4220s (firmware 6.8.0) has started playing up and we can't write to it unless we reboot it. The problem goes away for about 48 hours then comes back again. Any writes to the...
Something is filling/has filled up your 4GB root directory to an extent the file system cannot operate correctly.
You need to look there for large files (probably logs from an installed app) and consider deleting them

Try balancing both the OS partition and the data volume. You can balance the data volume from the Web UI if you like.
Is there any risk to running the balance? I'm not sure we can backup the 33TB elsewhere!
