RN2120v2 System Volume Root Usage is high
Running Firmware 6.10.1
Getting the standard error:
System volume root's usage is 96%. This condition should not occur under normal conditions. Contact technical support.
I've already checked the clamav folder. AV was never on and the folder has no files in it.
I used this guide to track down my largest files.
root@MCT-SAAS-NAS01:/mnt# du -csh /mnt/* 16K /mnt/apps 6.0M /mnt/bin 4.0K /mnt/boot 48M /mnt/data 4.0K /mnt/Data 12K /mnt/dev 9.9M /mnt/etc 31M /mnt/frontview 4.0K /mnt/home 0 /mnt/homes 28M /mnt/lib 16K /mnt/lost+found 4.0K /mnt/media 4.0K /mnt/mnt 16M /mnt/opt 4.0K /mnt/proc 24K /mnt/root 4.0K /mnt/run 11M /mnt/sbin 4.0K /mnt/selinux 4.0K /mnt/srv 4.0K /mnt/sys 44K /mnt/tmp 348M /mnt/usr 3.1G /mnt/var 3.5G total
Eventually found this
root@MCT-SAAS-NAS01:/mnt# du -csh /mnt/var/lib/mysql/* 0 /mnt/var/lib/mysql/debian-5.5.flag 2.7G /mnt/var/lib/mysql/ibdata1 5.0M /mnt/var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile0 5.0M /mnt/var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile1 1.1M /mnt/var/lib/mysql/mysql 4.0K /mnt/var/lib/mysql/mysql_upgrade_info 212K /mnt/var/lib/mysql/performance_schema 32K /mnt/var/lib/mysql/Syslog 2.7G total
I'm not clear what to do about ibdata1. I'm not running any apps. It's a pretty vanilla setup without the fluff.
Suggestions?
I got a private message from a former netgear employee telling me to uninstall mysql and delete the file.
"You must have installed apps that use MySQL or installed things manually via SSH at some point to have MySQL installed. Uninstall MySQL and then delete the MySQL database if it's still there."
I ran the following commands to get rid of it
! mounted the volume mount --bind / /mnt cd /mnt ! Confirmed which folder had the files by running this command until I found the large file du -csh /mnt/* du -csh /mnt/var/*
du -csh /mnt/var/lib/*
du -csh /mnt/var/lib/mysql/*
! Uninstall mysql apt-get remove --purge 'mysql-.*' ! delete the file left after uninstall rm /mnt/var/lib/mysql/ibdata1I'm back to normal levels
