ReadyNAS 314 lack of disk space

Hello, we have a ReadyNAS 314 that was recently updated to firmware 6.5.0. Ever since the update the device will intermittently start to behave as though it's out of disk space. The device's dashboard shows that it has over 4 TB free. Restarting the device resolves this for a few hours or a day. We do not use any snapshotting but we do use the ReadyNAS Replicate service to replicate shares to another 314 unit. The replication process seems to create snapshots temporarily and the logs indicate they are successfully removed afterward.

I've disabled the disk spin-down setting thinking it's failing to spin-up after idling but that didn't make any difference. Any other suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Mike D.

Can you describe the symptoms?

  Attempting to save anything to the device will fail. The device is mostly often used a repository for scanning, so the most common symptom is that a scanned item is simply not available. Our scanners don't give any specific reason for the failure. Existing items may still be accessed, as least for viewing.
  
  When I browse a share through the admin web interface and try to drag and drop files I receive an error message about lack of disk space. I didn't think to save the exact wording and can't reproduce it because the device is working properly at the moment.

    It might be the OS partition that is out of space.
    
    If you have support (most RN314 owners do have free lifetime chat support), you can contact Netgear.
    
    Or you could enable ssh, and check for fullness with
    
    df . -i
    
    df . -h
    
    If you haven't done this before, you log into the NAS using putty (windows) or terminal (mac). You use "root" as the username with the NAS admin password.
