Readynas NV+ V1 - Mounting OS partition in support mode
Hi All, I'm a newbie to the forum but just wanted a definitive answer on whether it's possible to mount the OS partition from telnet support mode to clear up suspected problem log files. Alternativ...
Also, I agree about telnet, but wanted to see if I could access my box while it is running normally, although I doubt I would be able to access the port. Just trying to figure up what is the issue.
Well the first thing to check for is the OS partition being full either by data or the inodes all being used up.
If it's full of data then the du command can be used to see what's filling it (probably a huge log file). Typically we would copy the huge log file onto the data volume (just in case that information is relevant for future troubleshooting) and then empty it.
If it's inode then a different command would be needed and you'd be looking for a huge number of small files on the OS partition.
The OS partition is 2GB in size.
I chrooted sysroot, but although my /hone/user it's mounted, none of my shares are mounted. Is that where I am having an issue?
