Readynas Data Volume Full - Stuck booting at 99%
Hello,
My data volume /data is full and my Readynas 516 is stuck booting at 99% (Status: System starting up). Is there a way to get past this so I can free up some space? I've looked at previou...
One option is to use paid support (my.netgear.com). You'd boot the NAS in tech support mode, and they can fix it remotely. Note that If you purchased between 1 June 2014 and 31 May 2016, then you have lifetime chat support.
Do you know the status of the OS partition? If so, is it full also?
Hello,
Thanks a bunch for your quick response. I can SSH into the NAS no problem, just can get to the web console. I purchased my NAS in April of 2014. I would definitely be willing to pay for support if thats the only option? Thanks again for your help.
Sorry meant to say I can't get to the web console. I can SSH into the box though.
So you can see your files in /data from ssh? If so, you can delete some from there. You can also list and delete snapshots. btrfs subvolume list /data will give you the list of subvolumes (shares) and snapshots. You can then delete a snapshot using btrfs subvolume delete <path>
After you clean up the space, you might also need to finish with a btrfs balance (also from ssh).
Cleaning up the space might not solve your booting issue though.
Hi StephenB,
Thanks for the suggestion, I can list (btrfs subvolume list /data) the subvolumes, but unfortunately when trying to delete snapshots (btrfs subvolume delete /data/directoryname/.snapshots/XXX/snapshot) the command hangs.
