ReadyNAS RR4312 - /dev/md0 partition full

Hi guys, I cannot have access to a ReadyNAS WEBGUI. After entering the user's credentials I get "ReadyNAS Admin Page is offline". But I'm able to access it via ssh session and I noticed that "/d...

Samba was "dead". The "systemctl status samba" returned:

Failed to dump process list, ignoring: Unit samba.service not found.
● samba.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)

That's because there is no service called samba.

Try

systemctl stop smb

But I think you will also have to delete the tdb file (or move it to the data volume) after you flush the cache.

No smb also running.

At this point I'm very tempted to delete the gencache.tdb file. Just want to be sure that doing it will not cause additional issues to the ReadyNAS.

I'd move it to the data volume, just in case you do run into a problem afterwards.

  Hello guys,
  
  Now I have access to the webgui Admin Page.
  To regain access to it, I had to delete the file "gencache.tdb"
  
  rm -f gencache.tdb
  
  But the deletion of the file did not solve the issue, because SMB did not start after a ReadyNAS reboot.
  Everytime a tried to enable SMB I received the errors presented on the image
  
  As workaround, I had to update my ReadyNAS to version 6.10.4 (previous version was 6.9.5).
  The SMB became available again after the update and my shares were preserved. But now, I have a new issue.
  I cannot connect to the shares from my network using the existing ReadyNAS local users.
  It seems that now I'm facing user management issues because when I try to create additional local users I got errors
  
  Preciate any possible help.

    I did warn that deleting the file is a bad idea. From what I have read about it, it contains some fairly important stuff. I don't suppose you copied it to somewhere on the data volume before you deleted it? Unfortunately, the flush function may also require space in which to work, so it didn't do the trick.
    
    Did you try an OS re-install before the OS update? You may now have a mix of files associated with different samba versions, I don't really know a lot of what's updated in 6.10.x fro 6.9.x. Just in case the update just didn't quite do the job completely, I suppose you could try an OS re-install now. Note that that will set the admin password to the default, set IP address to DHCP, and I believe undo any LAN link aggregation.
