Readynas NV+ stuck on boot

Hello,

I am encountering issues with my Readynas NV+ as it does not boot anymore. When launching it, the "checking quotas" phase ends up well but the booting phase cannot. I can stop the Nas with the button but when it stops, the screen does not (always written "booting...").

When using RaidAr, the device can be detected until the last booting phase but states that the 4 disks are ok. I tried to boot with 3 disks (removing only one and reinstalling the lastly removed each time) but had the same result.

My assumption is that the volume is full and cannot boot well. But I don't know how to resolve that...

Could you help me please?

Thank you.

Looks like your system is crashing attempting to download huge log files.

Maybe try a boot that skips the volume check first. If you have a NV+ v1 (4.1.x firmware), the process is on page 23-24 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/Duov1_NV+v1_HW_en_06Dec11.pdf

Fixing a full OS partition requires tech support mode. Are you comfortable/familar with linux shell commands? IF not, try paid Netgear support (my.netgear.com) and ask for "per incident" support.

  Thanks for your reply.
  I already tried to skip the volume checking. With no success.
  
  Concerning Linux shell commands, I am not an expert. But I already used it many times so it depends on what it consists in...

    You'd boot up in tech support mode, and then mount the OS partition.
    
    After that, you'd check the fullness, and (assuming it is full) resolve it by truncating logs and clearing the cache. If you can mount the C volume, then it is also possible to move folders of any add-ons you installed to the C volume, and replace the original with a sym link.
