    You 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
