Doubtful it's a hardware issue. How full is your OS partition? Are you getting warnings about it in your log?
- Also, what apps (if any) do you have installed on the NAS?
- What firmware are you running?
NAS firmware 6.10.10
I cannot access the admin page now. I cannot see the log file.
I do not know the OS partition or where to find it.
I do not have any apps running or installed.
I'll have to do a OS reinstall, again.

You could try RAIDar - it might be able to download the log zip.
If not, download the log zip file after you do the OS reinstall.

You'd see a message about a "full root" in the log.
I had to reinstall the OS to download the logs. RAIDar failed.
I have the zip file. Below is the partition.log. Any other needed?

Look in volume.log, scroll down to the df -h section and post this part:
=== df -h === Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 10M 4.0K 10M 1% /dev /dev/md0 3.7G 651M 2.9G 19% /md0 is the OS RAID group. Normally it is about 20-25% full.
If you want me to take a look, then put the full log zip into cloud storage and send me a private message (PM) with a download link. Make sure the permissions allow anyone with the link to download. You send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
