RN516. Volume: System volume root's usage is 81%
I'm running an RN516 on OS 6.5.1 with 6x 6TB WD RED's.
Out of the blue I get a "Volume: System volume root's usage is 81%" error.
I'm not running *any* 3rd party apps and only use the unit ...

Hello tijgert,
It seems you have posted the same problem twice. Please continue at https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/RN516-Volume-System-volume-root-s-usage-is-81/m-p/1140518#M115751

This is really hard to follow, because your cut/paste lost all the line breaks.
You do need to log in as root, not admin - otherwise there are files/folders you won't be able to look at. So try again using root as the username, and the NAS admin password for the password.

Hello Sir,
I don't know how you're looking at my post, but it is showing normal as a listing on a grey background with all the line breaks when pulling up the page. Only when looking at your reply do I see one big jumble of symbols.
May I suggest you view it regurlarly? No one else seems to be having the problem you are.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ray
