I did run the du command on the md0 file.

I don't know why it would return 0.

It's not really a file, its a device.
You need to look in the OS folders. /var/log and /var/cache are the places to start.
What apps do you have installed? Have you made any changes to the system with ssh?

Hi StephenB,
What would I be looking for in the OS folders?
As for apps, we have LogAnalyzer, Plex Media Server, and ReadyNAS Photos II.
I'm not sure if we've made any changes with an SSH connection. We have two NASes. I have attempted to install Crashplan on one of them, but not this one.

The problem won't be in Apps, as that folder is actually remounted from the data volume.
Probably the safest option for you is to contact support (ask for "per-incident" support, that is cheaper than a service contract).
But basically you are looking for large files that are taking up the space. If you want to continue on your own, you can compare the folders on your two ReadyNAS.
