ReadyNAS 3200 Taking a Long Time to Boot
I have a ReadyNAS 3200 that locked up on me. I could web into it, I could see the files on it via CIFS, but it would not allow me to access existing, or edit/create new files. I would get an error from Windows that I don't have permission. I also has had a couple backup VMs on that server, and when I would try to power them on, it would tell me the files are locked/read-only.
So I rebooted the system via the web interface, and I checked the box to preform a file system check on reboot.
The system went down for a reboot, and over 8 hours had not come backup. I hard reset it and told it to skip the file check, and it came back up, but went un-responsive again after a few hours.
I brought it back down, and have it doing a file system check again, at first it show a ton of disk activity, but it is not showing much at all for disk activity, and is not coming back up. It has been two hours.
Also, when I force it up there is no hardware problems reported by the unit.
Any ideas on my next step?

- Could be a full OS partition. Bring it up, and perhaps use the boot menu to avoid file system checks. Then immediately delete the logs (backup and system). DON'T attempt to download them, if the OS partition is full that will make things even worse.
If you have SSH installed, you could also try going in that way and check for OS fullness.
