Did you install via SSH? If so, you had to use sudo, which makes you temporary root. But that's not what really matters. Linux normally installs to the root volume. With the size limitation of ReadyNASOS OS partition, that's problematic with some apps. If you install a standard Linux .deb package from SSH, you should create a directory in /apps (which is on your data volume, though there is a symbolic link to it in root). Then move any files the app creates (or any location to which it will store data) in there, then create a symbolic link to the /apps folder in place of the original folder in root.

PLEX will notoriously leave transcoding fragments in the root volume if anything goes awry. Having a root volume that full is definitely part of, if not all, the problem. And those drives with so many bad sectors are a timebomb. If you don't have a current backup, you need to make one now. With two drives probably on the brink of failure, you risk the second failing while a replacement for the first re-syncs, and that will kill your volume.
