ReadyNas102 - Volume Root Usage

Version 6.10.7 Only apps on RN102 are iDrive and Resilio sync. I removed iDrive last evening. At beginning of 2022 I noticed my iDrive was not backing up from RN102. I reinstalled it (or tried to...

Yes, it's definitely /var/log.

Try going deeper, that would help sort this out:

root@NAS:/var/log# du -h /var/log
0       /var/log/news
112K    /var/log/apt
0       /var/log/fsck
436K    /var/log/frontview/backup
3.1M    /var/log/frontview
0       /var/log/samba/cores/nmbd
0       /var/log/samba/cores/smbd
0       /var/log/samba/cores
752K    /var/log/samba
3.2M    /var/log/apache2
2.3M    /var/log/readynasd
39M     /var/log/journal/6c58f1a31323453ea933c21fd1d53cbe
39M     /var/log/journal
0       /var/log/clamav
0       /var/log/audit
50M     /var/log

Anything in /var/log/clamav can be safely deleted, the RN102 no longer has the AV service.

I added this screenshot of some other directories. It looks like my "apps" and "var" are quite large, but I don't know why that would have anything to do with my root usage. Anyway, I thought this might help someone with the diagnosis. The messages definitely started about the time that I "reinstalled" the iDrive app, so it seems like the two things are related.

apps is a mount point (the actual storage is on the data volume), so that is not a concern.

var on the other hand is part of the root file system, and it is too full. Here is what mine looks like (also an RN102, which is running 6.10.7 firmware)

root@RN102:~# cd /var root@RN102:/var# du -d1 -h 2.3M ./ftp 8.0K ./www 92M ./backups 16K ./spool 70M ./cache 9.6M ./readynasd 4.0K ./local 4.0K ./mail 4.0K ./tmp 4.0K ./opt 4.0K ./cores 16K ./netatalk 243M ./lib 59M ./log 475M . root@RN102:/var#
