ReadyNas 3200 fails to load gui and smb

Hi, My ReadyNas 3200 fails to load GUI and SMB and I'm guessing it depends on disk full?   root@ReadyNas3200:~# df // -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md0 4.0G 3.8G 0 100% / -...

    root@ReadyNas3200:~# df // -h

    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    /dev/md0 4.0G 3.8G 0 100% /

     

    How can i clean it and get it to work again?


    Do you know what firmware you are running?  In particular, was the NAS converted to run OS 6?

     

    In general, you need to identify the files that are filling it.  In many cases it is one or two very large file.

     

    If the NAS is booted normally, then it is helpful to remount the OS partition (because there are a lot of mount points).  So start by entering

    mount --bind / /mnt

     

    Then use 

    du -csh /mnt/*

    to see the space used in each folder.  You can then descend into the largest folders, and isolate the files.

     

     

    If you have external drives attached to the NAS, also look in /mnt/media.  The folders in this folder are all mount points, and they should be empty.

     

    BTW, when you are finished, you should unmount the OS

    cd //

    umount /mnt
