Root drive filled up and now things are broken
I need some help. 6.9.2. I think TVHeadEnd addon is a bit broken - and dumped a whole load of ts files in my root directory. This is the second time this has happened. I deleted the *.ts files the ...
No good.
Tried and OS Re-install and it stuck on Checking FS...
In fact, getting to the boot menu is hit and miss - once I get it on the front panel, I cant use the front panel touch controls to change the option. It worked once and hasn't worked since.
Anyway to do an OS reinstall WITHOUT the boot menu?
OK. I did an OS reinstall but stuck booting 97%. All data is there and Frontview won't let me in. I can see my data but readynasd keeps failing due to shares being stuffed. Would you be so kind as to assist me with getting these shares working again?
I can then update my backups (which are 1 month old) and wipe and reinstall the firmware from scratch.
Managed to boot into DebugMode.
Note I'm no longer at NETGEAR (my last day was yesterday) so you'll need to see if others can help or fix this yourself.
What happened to your signature? I tried clicking on one of your old messages and now everything errors out.. I need to know how to send log files! Congrats on the retirement
- Looks like a problem on the KB server, possibly due to maintenance (just a guess). You could PM the mod that asked you for logs zip e.g. a Dropbox link.
Oh, noone asked me to send logs but im sure they will. Thanks for your help.
To op: my root drive also filled up after a disk failure. I found that my backup of amazon drive caused it. even though I had no working array, it just downloaded it onto the root drive.
No one from netgear followed-up on this - so I factory reset and reloaded from a backup.
To be fair, my 2013 Ultra 6 was upgraded to OS6 in 2015, and then died earlier this year and the drives seemlessly inserted into the 316... it was probably time after 3 years and going from 6.2.4 through 6.9.2 to reinstall...
Things I found
Root disk was 65% full and on a factory reset, 20%
Re-installed apps actually work first time
Still need to reinstall SpiderOak via SSH - it would be really, REALLY nice if SpiderOak was an option alongside GoogleDrive, Dropbox, OneDrive etc.....
