Readynas NV+ Frontview Inaccessible. How to fix with Telnet?

I have a Readynas NV+ which no longer allows access to Frontview. This is more than likely related to log file size and my OS partition. I recently performed a factory reset and forgot to enable SSH add-on. Now I am unable to acces the root directory. I was wondering if there are options for this? I was trying to do it through Telnet, but without success. I have around 4TB data and don't want to back it up (it would take days) and wondering if anybody has any ideas. 

 

- Thanks

    Thanks for your help. It was that the log files were too large. I had a readynasremote.log file that was very large. Upon deleting this file, frontview was able to load. 

     

    Thanks again,

    Just to make sure I get the sequence:

    -you did a factory reset, restored the NAS data, but didn't enable ssh

    -later on the NAS won't let you access frontview?

     

    You can mount the OS partition from telnet:

    # start_raid.sh
    # mount /dev/md0 /sysroot

      Thanks for quick reply. I did the above forementioned. Once I access the sysroot, do I need to delete the log files? Or is there anything else I should do.

       

      THANKS!

        For some reason it will not let me mount sysroot. Not sure why not...
