/media/USB_HDD_11/Pat/Aerial Footage - Max/Princeville Ranch Cut 3.mp4You can delete /var/cores/core-readynasd for sure.
You can also remount the root file system, so you can search through it without mount points from muddying the water.
To do this you enter
mount --bind / /mnt
find /mnt -xdev -type f -size +100M...
In addition to searching, etc you also would delete files directly from /mnt.
Maybe also try
mount | grep -i USB_HDD_11
That should let you know if USB_HDD_11 is a mount point or just a folder. It you don't see it in the output of the above command, then it is just a folder. You can delete it's contents if you wish, but perhaps keep the folder itself.
When done, you unmount with umount /mnt

Usually there's one or two huge files that need to be cleared. Have you searched for those via ssh?

Not really sure how to go about searching. Would the files be under /dev/md0?
- StephenBJun 14, 2017Guru - Experienced User
They are on /dev/md0, but /dev/md0 is the disk partition, and is not part of the path.
Try
cd //
du -hsx * | sort -rh | head -10
That will show you the biggest folders, If (for example) the problem seems to be in /var, you can then
cd var
du -hsx * | sort -rh | head -10
That usually gets you to the problem area pretty quickly.
