Hi asimb, thank you very much for your valuable informations. But how do I get into root? I can only see the directories I created myself. I only have access through ReadyNAS Admin Page (via local www of NAS).
Thanks

First of all you have to enable SSH on your NAS admin-page (description how to do see https://kb.netgear.com/30068/ReadyNAS-OS-6-SSH-access-support-and-configuration-guides "Enabling SSH access for root using password authentication"). Then you have to start SSH on your windows computer using "ssh root@<ip>.<ip>.<ip>.<ip>" (ip means the ip-adress of your NAS). The password is your admin-password.
then you have to type "cd /var/lib/clamav" and then "ls -la". Then you should see some entrys beginning with "clamav-..." and ending with ".tmp". Please check this.

Hi, today i ran into the same issue and solved it with your described steps.
- Enable ssh service and the ssh login permission via accounts > user
- Login e.g. Putty and switch to root via: su -
- Check the size of the root-fs via: du -hsx /* | sort -rh | head -10
(you'll get the following output)
root@STORAGE:~#
du: cannot access '/proc/17259/task/17259/fd/3': No such file or directory
du: cannot access '/proc/17259/task/17259/fdinfo/3': No such file or directory
du: cannot access '/proc/17259/fd/3': No such file or directory
du: cannot access '/proc/17259/fdinfo/3': No such file or directory

- disable the clamd-services if needed

Warning: be careful with "rm -rf", because this command is deleting everything in the selected directory! So before using this, be sure, that you are in /var/lib/clamav and not somewhere else. From my point of view it's more secure to use "rm -r clamav-*.tmp".
