Storage NAS gone?

Hello,

 

I hope someone can help me with my problem.

Somehow I lost 92GB of storage in 2 days without copying any files to my NAS (ReadyNAS Duo v2)

(I have upgraded the NAS with the latest firmware recently) 

 

Part of the log:

 

Wed Jul 26 06:25:09 CEST 2017

Volume C is approaching capacity:
100% used
233M available

 

Mon Jul 24 06:25:06 CEST 2017

Volume C is approaching capacity:
96% used
92G available

 

Is the a way to check the disc usage on the NAS? In order to find out where my storage went?

Regards,

Gerhard

    I suggest you use "du -h --max-depth=1 /c/" to investigate where 92GB has gone... should be easy-ish to find I would think.

      So you know what forced the file system check on 7/30?

        Yes, I did.
        Because my free storage was "drained". I hoped it was a temporary file and maybe a reboot could solve the problem. When I rebooted the NAS I received a pop-up to do a volume scan.

    If you log in to the command line via SSH you could start with using "du" to observe used space and look for large allocations. 92G should be easy to find!

      Sorry for the late reply, I was on Holiday

       

      When I check the free space with SSH it also states all the storage is used by "c" (100% used).

      Is there a command to get more details?
