Well it depends on what the cause is.

How full is the data volume?

Have you verified that all the disks are ok, perhaps by testing using vendor tools?

Do you have ssh enabled?

If so could you ssh in and:

df -h
df -i

....although this does not sound like a full OS partition.

The volume is almost empty otherwise. The disks have been verified as OK. I don't have SSH enabled.

The OS partition isn't visible, and it possibly could be filling.

First of all, I suggest making a backup of your data - it clearly is at risk if the NAS is crashing/unstable.

    Disks can and do fail. We have no control over the quality of hard disks that are produced.
    
    If you boot the NAS with the bad disk removed you may well find that that resolves the problem.
