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

Thank you for the solution, I had the exact problem with my root directory 85% full, it took me forever to figure out how to get into the system via putty, the password was "password" and not my password which was weird, also thanks for the screen shot, could not have done it without - very apreciative people are willing to spend the time to help.
Thanks again,
Greg

Many thanks asimb for the solution and image. My ReadyNas antivirus also stopped updating on 5th March and the clamav had 32 .tmp files at 166M each. I've now turned off the antivirus.

Thank you Asimb for this information. All of it helped significantly. I started looking into the same issue (which began on 3/5) yesterday. At that point I was at 88% and was at 98% this morning after several reboots. I was getting very worried until I stumbled on to your post. I am now good and fine. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I would like to add to all this, if you turned SSH on to fix this issue make sure to turn it off once you are all done. No need to leave the door open.
