RN204 crashes shortly after boot
For a couple days, I've been having the issue where deleting large files / lots of files results in a crash where the panel will either display "__out_of_memory + 354" or the RN204 will just become u...
My guess is that an OS reinstall won't help. Your issue seems triggered by your volume state, and an OS reinstall doesn't change that.
A factory default destroys the data volume, so that will certainly work.
You could of course try support (though they likely will charge).
I understand that I asked quite a few questions in my post. A question in particular that I think would help me at this moment would be about the OS reinstall mode; does anyone think that using the OS reinstall mode will fix this? If that doesn't work, I'm just going to do a factory default anyway, which if I understand correctly is more complete than an OS reinstall.
I don't necessairly need all of my questions answered, but any response at all would be appreciated. I'm gonna be doing the OS reinstall in about 20 minutes unless googling finds some reason why I shouldn't. Gonna try backing up my settings first.

Thanks for the response. I think I'm gonna try an OS reinstall anyway and then increase the snapshot pruning percent to 99% and slowly back it down 1% at a time until (hopefully) the issue doesn't occur anymore. I'll post here if I find a solution.
Edit: Actually, I just realized that won't work, since the default pruning percentage is 95% and my current pruning percentage is 96%, so I still won't be able to get to the admin page to change it. Factory default it is. Thanks for the response.
