What does full root partition mean?
The installed drives are more ore less empty?
How can I see how full the root partition is?
I tried for example to install the plex server application.

The NAS boots from the disks, and there is a small OS partition (also called the root partition) on the drives. That can get full.
One way to check it is to download the log zip file, and look in volume.log Scroll down to this section:
=== df -h === Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 10M 4.0K 10M 1% /dev /dev/md0 4.0G 1.1G 2.7G 30% / tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/md0 is the OS partition.

Did you download it directly from plex.tv?

Looks pretty good I think:
=== df -h ===
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 10M 4.0K 10M 1% /dev
/dev/md0 4.0G 1.4G 2.3G 38% /
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 2.0G 5.7M 2.0G 1% /run
tmpfs 987M 8.7M 978M 1% /run/lock
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/md127 15T 3.6T 11T 25% /VolumeI tried several applications.
"Available Applications" section.
And also directly downloaded it from Plex.tv

tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shmYes. FWIW, it is a bit high (typically it is lower than 30%), but not anywhere close to full.
Have you confirmed that the NAS can reach the internet? If you are using a static IP address (configured in the NAS), then you should double-check that you've configured the DNS servers.
