ReadyNAS OS6 6.7.3 Upgrade - Users With Full Root
Hi all,
I haven't yet upgraded to 6.7.3 from 6.7.1 but I've seen numerous threads on here regarding the system failing to boot due a full root volume.
My question to the Netgear team is whether this volume was already nearing full prior to the upgrade or whether something in the upgrade caused the volume to fill.
The reason I ask the question is whether checking there is ample space prior to upgrading avoids running into this issue. If it does then I would actually propose a pre-install check and warning if the volume is reaching a critical level to prevent this in future.
Thanks...
It was an issue with 6.7.3. It mainly affected systems where the root volume was fully allocated even if very little was actually used.
If you have updated to 6.7.3 and ran into this issue please try USB Boot Recovery with ReadyNAS OS 6.7.4 which is now available!
If you have not yet upgraded please upgrade to 6.7.4 rather than 6.7.3. If your system has already been fixed I would still suggest updating to 6.7.4 the normal way using the web admin GUI.

Personally I think that check makes a lot of sense.
Let's hope it gets approved, i'll give it my vote now.
Knowing what we know now, it would seem remiss to omit this step.
There'll be a fix for this issue in 6.7.4. The root volume was fully allocated but not fully in use.
