RN516 can no longer save to or access iSCSI
Good morning. My Nas started playing up a few days ago, looking to the community for help. Currently the NAS is 80% full but still has 2.5Tb free space. (6x 3Tb drives in Raid 5) There's a t...
The space on the data volume is fully allocated. Please backup your data then run a balance.
Update:
I deleted through the web interface aprox 30Gb of data from the share. Tested with notepad and I could save. I put the iSCSI drive back into online mode and it popped up correctly, showing all files and available space, did warn that it needed scanning though.
I'd still like help in identifying the problem because if there's a cutoff point at say 80% usage I could hit it again very quickly.

Is the backup precautionary? Just unless I buy a new NAS I've nowhere to store that much data.
How do I do a balance? Not something I've seen before, what does it do?
When you say the space on the data volume is fully allocated, is that in an area I can't see on the web gui because it's showing 2.7tb free space now.
edit: Balancing isn't supposed to wipe data it seems so I guess it's precutionary to take a backup.
Balancing seems to be something to do with data/metadata I assume one of those is full and balancing will resolve it.
found this that explains balancing for me..

Doesn't that scare you? Any single device (or RAID array) can fail.
No because all the data on the drive is backups and not my only backup at that. I'd rather you refrain from posting here unless it's a constructive contribution to the issue please and don't up your post count on my thread. Thanks.
