Unable to access ReadyNAS 104, All folders disappeared
A couple days ago, I got a few weird warning messages about the volume capacity is getting low. That is completely not turn. Then suddenly I am not able to see any folders except the "Home" folder (which I am not using at all).
The drives seems to be OK and I am able to access the admin page but not the data.
One other weird thing is I am not able to turn on SMB service at all no matter how many times I tried.
I also tried to reinstall OS using the boot menu but still no luck.
Any idea what I can do to rescue my data. Please help!!

Volume: Less than 20% of volume media's capacity is free. Performance on volume media will degrade if additional capacity is consumed. NETGEAR recommends that you add capacity to avoid performance degradation. |

Volume: Less than 30% of volume media's capacity is free. NETGEAR recommends that you add capacity to maintain current performance levels. Continuous protection snapshots will be deleted when volume free space is less than 5%.
The root volume was temporarily full. Fixed the broken SMB share config.

Sounds like the 4GB root volume is full. I've sent you a PM.

To see how much your hidden data resources are used, download the logfiles and go to btrfs.log. You will find something like the following.
=== filesystem /data ===
Data, single: total=7.50TiB, used=7.48TiB
System, RAID1: total=32.00MiB, used=896.00KiB
Metadata, RAID1: total=1.00GiB, used=142.78MiB
GlobalReserve, single: total=64.00MiB, used=0.00B - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee Retired
This doesn't sound like an excessive amount of metadata on the data volume.
This sounds like a full 4GB root volume.
