Log in via ssh again, and use df to tell you the space usage. For example
Welcome to ReadyNASOS 6.9.5 root@NAS:~# df // -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md0 4.0G 940M 2.9G 25% / root@NAS:~#
Normally it will be about 25% used.
thanks for your reply it seems i am still at 41% after this fix
Welcome to ReadyNASOS 6.9.5 root@ILLIT-STORAGE:~# df // -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md0 3.7G 1.5G 2.1G 41% / root@ILLIT-STORAGE:~#
has i missed anything?
41% should be safe. But it would be useful to understand why it's that high.
Do you have other apps installed? If so, which ones?
Also, do you connect USB drives to the NAS? If a drive doesn't mount properly, then sometimes files end up copied to the system root (either through drag/drop, or a backup job).
Hi StephenB
in answer to your questions
1) i have no apps installed
2) i have removed the backup jobs recently (in the last 48 hours) as i am in the processing of adding more storage to the remote readynas that it was backing up so the old backups failed for the last week or so.
3) i have turnt Anti Virus off on the system this morning and restarted to try and resolve the issue before posting here and getting instructions to remove temp files.
4) no USB connected to the NAS in any way
i have re-run df to check useage and here are the results
