ReadyNAS 104 Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk #1
Recently got this error on my NAS when looking at the admin page. Was wondering if their was any solution to this issue any help would be appreciated.
I have used the RAIDar app to look at the diagnostic information this is what i got.
Do you have a backup of the data on the NAS?
If not, do you have experience with the linux command line (ssh)?
I have a backup of the data and have used SSH a little bit in the past.

Good to know.
The simplest solution is to do a factory reset, reconfigure the NAS, and restore the files from your backup.
The rationale is that the full root partition often results in corrupted NAS configuration files, so you have potentially more than one problem to try to manually fix.
Starting over gives you a completely clean system, so no possibililty that something missed in a manual repair will cause more trouble later on.
But you also need to find out what caused the OS partition to fill, or you'll likely be here again. So poking around via SSH to identify the files that are the issue will usually often identify their source.
