Readynas 102 no access to files whatsoever
Hi I need help! Let me try describe the events leading to this. 1. I found out yesterday that the ftp wasn't working on my readynas 102 all of a sudden 2. I went into the admin page and tried ...
- The OS ran out of space as you left it configured to store its cache on the root volume.If you look at /etc/tvmobili/conf/tvMobiliService.conf you will see that the CacheRoot is set to /var/tvmobili/cache. That cache grew to 3.2GB in size, and filled the root volume. You need to set a CacheRoot that is stored on the data volume.It's possible that the vanilla Debian package stores others files on the root volume that should be stored on the data volume.Whether the package is configured to start at the right time (i.e. after data volume is mounted and certain services are up and running) is another question.If you want to experiment with vanilla Debian packages it's best to have SSH enabled, know how to use it and also have updated your regular backup.
I dragged the .deb file into the install apps if i can recall? I tried installing the default tvmobili app that came along with the apps for readynas but that version was way outdated so i had to download a debian version. This is coming from my vague recallation. Hope this helps? Is there a way to remedy this? Thanks!
That would explain it. When you install an app that is not designed for the ReadyNAS it will be configured to store things in the wrong places and can easily fill up the 4GB root volume.
Support probably could help trying to remove this app if you purchase a per incident support contract.
Hi thanks for the explanation. So what happened? The os ran out of space and couldnt support the http ftp and shared access? Unfortunately I am unable to fork out US75 to have it deleted. The best option for me now I guess is to extract everything I want out via btsync then do a factory restore. I would like to understand how this space issue triggered this event so that maybe I can check with tvmobili's support as to how to install it in the right partition?
Anyway, how would I be sure that when I install an app, which folder should it install it to which is not in the os partition? this might help me on my reinstallation of TVmobili. Thanks again so much for this! Truly appreciate the community's help here!

Ok I think I am getting a right idea here! let's just assume now that I manage to delete the cache by using btsync to sync an "empty" folder over, will the system be able to function as normal or would I still have to do a factory restore? Also how do I reenable http admin or ssh if I cannot access? or is there a way? You guys have been a great help!
