Receiving "volume root's usage is 92%" message
I started receiving an alert last night stating "System volume root's usage is 92%. This condition should not occur in normal conditions. Contact technical support." Im not sure what is using up the ...
Ok so the issue is now resolved but just wanted to post the findings in the event someone else runs into this problem. The culperate was the ReadyNAS Replication which had a temporary issue and decided to store a failed replication job on the root volume. This data was hidden as it was being stored in the data folder (but on the root volume not the data volume). The fix was:
- To dismount the data volume using systemctl stop data.mount
- Remove the folders within data.
- Then remount the data volume using systemctl start data.mount.
Follow these steps at your own risk, if your not comfortable reach out to netgear support to fix the issue.
Big thanks to Danthem for all of his help and to Stephen B for his suggestions and input.
Are you running old firmware and/or any apps? That's the most common cause for full root.. If you're within chat/OTS support just go through the support to have it fixed, it's usually an easy fix.
Edit: sent you a pm
