RN204-100NES. Boot issue
Hi
I am currently running a NETGEAR ReadyNAS 204 4-Bay Network Attached Storage Diskless (RN204-100NES). All bays are occupied. I bought it February of 2016.
My problem is my system will not complete the booting process. is stuck at 99% with a message “FVapp-photos2.se. I think the “se” might be services but can’t see any more in the window. This is a second reboot; after disconnecting my ethernet cord. On the first reboot, it was stuck at 94% with a message related to FVamazonapp.
I can see my system on RAIDdar but cannot access. I do not have SSH enabled.
I am not aware of any prior issues, however I did look at my error log prior to this booting issue. I had a number of occurrences of this error message: “ Volume: System volume 'root' usage is 84 %. This condition should not occur in normal conditions. Please contact technical support”.
I don’t remember why I rebooted but it was obviously a mistake. If there is anyone who can help me solve this problem, please advise.
Thanks

Do you know what firmware you are running?
Thanks for your information.
No; no experience with Linux shell commands. Are there any instructions or information sources I can use as a guide if I wanted to try that route?
Thanks again.
There is no guide, and generally I don't recommend folks with no linux experience to attempt it. Paid support is a better path if you want to preserve your data, the factory reset is better if you don't care about that.
Basically you need to manually mount the OS partition, and, sort out where the space is going (the OS partition usually is ~20% full, not over 80%). Then you have to clean out files that don't belong there.
