Readynas 424 SSH service not starting (no error)
Hi all, I updated from 6.10.3 -> 6.10.4 today, against my better judgement (I've had issues with updating firmware in the past) and again, I'm having issues, the firmware update screwed with mono, so...
Hi, yeah, I am, I managed to download the log file, is there somewhere I should upload it? From what I can tell it thinks it's starting fine, and when I try to enable something else it realises it's actually disabled and says so in the log, and as I found out last night, it looks like all services have this issue, not just SSH.

You don't want to post the full log zip publicly. You can request that the mods review it for you though. You upload it to a cloud service (dropbox, google drive, etc), and then send them ( JohnCM_S or Marc_V ) a private message (PM) asking them to check it. Includes a download link to the log zip, and a link to this forum thread.
You send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.

I have a feeling it's something to do with OS storage being full
Look in volume.log (in the log zip). Scroll down, and you will find a section like this:
=== df -h === Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 10M 4.0K 10M 1% /dev /dev/md0 4.0G 703M 3.0G 19% / tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm ...
The /dev/md0 line tells you how full the OS partition is. Generally it is less than 25% full.
Hi Stephen, I attempted to contact JohnCM, but haven't heard back, can only assume he's busy. This is what I see in the volume.log
=== df -h === Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 10M 4.0K 10M 1% /dev /dev/md0 4.0G 2.6G 1.2G 70% / tmpfs 980M 20K 980M 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 980M 3.8M 976M 1% /run tmpfs 490M 1.4M 489M 1% /run/lock tmpfs 980M 0 980M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
I'm guessing that I was incorrect, doesn't look like the root dir is full, although it is more full than it should be. Is there anywhere else I can poke around to see if I can find something that doesn't add up?
Thank you :)
You could look in system.log and kernel.log for errors around the time you tried starting ssh from system->settings.
Also, systemctl-status.log should show that ssh.service is running (or not). Systemctl-journal.log is probably also worth a look.
BTW, if you use the @ (e.g., JohnCM_S ), then forum user (including mods) should get a notification of some kind. That might help get attention.
Hey StephenB It's been over a month and no response from either mod, I assume they are both too busy right now, what's my next course of action? Ideally I'd love to not shell out the $$ for netgear support, but is there anything else I can do from my end? I've checked both of the logs you suggested and nothing jumps out at me, but my experience in linux in particular is lacking, I've checked and I seem to be able to install apps from the netgear "upload" option, but if my problem stems from an incorrect install from a particular app, I'm not able to uninstall it, the only thing that I did around the time of the issues was attempt to install a full version of FFMPEG, which is why in my case I assumed I had accidentally installed it to the OS partition, but that seems to not be the case, judging from log files.
I'm hesitant to attempt to install ffmpeg again using the upload function as I'm positive that'll mess something up.
Thanks in advance.
