Try
# touch /.os_update
# rn_shutdown -r
The above will get the NAS to do an OS Re-install which will re-install the OS but leave your data intact.
I would have recommended finding the log file(s) that filled the OS partition and overwriting them e.g.

Clarification: Please note that an OS Re-install should only be done after space on the OS partition has been freed up. Doing an OS Re-install whilst the OS partition is very full may lead to further issues.
