System partition filling up and not showing up properly (I think)
Hey Netgear community
I hope i'm on the right forum and category for that.
I've been troubleshooting some services issues on my Pro6 that seems to be related to the system partition. Samba not sharing files anymore, dlna not advertising, web ui not reactive and with missing data. Through my searches, it seems to all come down to the system partition being full. I confirmed it while troubleshooting the samba part and not being able to copy the config file for backup.
Cleared some old logs and cache files, files sharing instantly comes back up and everything looks fine.
Thing here is that to troubleshoot that I noticed that my system partition doesn't seem to show up properly. When I do a 'df -h', I only get the following output :
tmpfs 16K 0 16K 0% /USB
/dev/c/c 8.6T 7.9T 732G 92% /c
Nothing about my system partition here. I do not understand how my system can still work if it has such big issue as not being able to list its own partition. Maybe its a simple linux and/or raid logic that I don't get, clearly not a linux guy here, but through all my reading everyone seems to have it.
The partition seems to keep filling itself up really fast so I'd like to have a quick view at it with this command or something similar.
Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.28
Nevermind, I found another folder that was hidding really well and was the root cause of my problems.
I learned a new linux command on my way :p

Hi blobby,
Welcome to the community.
Based on the description of the issue that you have provided, I may need to check this with others who can probably assist you and get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Regards,
If you reboot the NAS the root volume might be visible in that list again if you freed up space on it.
But first I would suggest that you make sure that you have an up to date backup.
Hey,
Thanks for looking at my problem.
I restarted the NAS and the root partition is still not there. However :
df / -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on - 4.0G 4.0G 0 100% /
I really cleaned the two apps that could log something and its still filling up. Really scratching my head on this one. I just found that :

Isn't Samba filling up my drive right here?
