Root partition full and can't account for all 4GB
I am trying to figure out how the 3.1G of the 4G root partition is being used. I'm at 84% right now but it's been as high as 98% and don't want to run into that situation again. root@RIGHTSTER-NAS...
Same happened to me.
Without actively using the mysql database, it keeps growing without Limits - and is eating up the root Partition.
When I tried to uninstall some apps via the GUI, I ended up with no GUI!
Luckily I had enabled SSH so I could still log in and get things fixed.
My conclusion is that mysql should NOT be used and that it should be disabled.
Will copy all my data to a second RN 516 (I am a lucky man) and then to a fresh install of my first RN 516 which encountered the "root partion 81% full"
