ReadNA Ultra 4 DHCP fail, connection refused
5 days ago, my ReadyNAS started having network connection issues (coincident with Mirai DDOS attacks?) :P I first noticed when my backup service complained that it hadn't heard from the device in a f...
Thanks for the hint, mdgm!
I copied the network/interfaces file from the tech support partition into the normal boot partition and rebooted. Figured a blank configuration file can't be a good thing. Success! The machine pulled a new IP address from DHCP, and I could log back into frontview. :)
From there, I just had to reenable CIFS and reinstall EnableRootSSH. All my shares are accessible again, and crashplan seems to be running and synced up. Although the crashplan log file mentions something about not being able to install an update. This might be what caused my partition to fill up, but it's another problem for another time...
Thanks again, everybody, for all the help!
btw, these are the very helpful instructions I followed to get in through tech support mode and clear out some space in the OS partition.
It looks like there's two--one in /etc/network/interfaces and one in /mnt/etc/network/interfaces. The second one is blank.
# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet dhcp
iface eth2 inet dhcp
iface eth3 inet dhcp
# cat /mnt/etc/network/interfaces

It could be that other config files are lost or in a weird state, but hopefully not.
When the root volume gets full there can be a lot more to it than just removing what's filling up the root volume.It's been a couple weeks of normal use. I think I was lucky... nothing else seems wrong.
Although... I've noticed that Crashplan hasn't been able to update to the newest version. (I might have to update to java 8.) It seems to download a new 40MB update file every half hour or so. I can see why the OS partition filled up so quickly.
Thanks all for the help.

Crashplan now installs its own Java.
There is a certificate issue that blocks the upgrade - Try logging in with ssh and entering
cd $home
echo "check_certificate = off" >.wgetrc
This was all I needed to do, but some others have had more issues after they did this.
