unable to login to the admin page, ReadyNAS NV+
Hello, I have not needed to login into my ReadyNAS NV+ for ages. It's currently running 4.1.15. I can browse all my data in it, add and delete stuff too. But I'm unable to login to the admin page...
Rebooting.
You had a large ReadyDLNA log, a huge ReadyDLNA database and large MySQL database(s)
The 2GB root volume was full.
I changed the configuration to store these databases on the data volume.
Hi mdgm,
That's a yes to all three.
Thanks
Ian
The log file is still on the root volume. I emptied it for now, but that alone shouldn't fill the root volume.
OK, thanks very much.
Is there anything I can do, to stop this happening again?
Regards
Ian.

mdgm-ntgr already moved the DLNA library to your data volume, which will help prevent it from happening again.
Another simple thing you can do is is clear the logs every few months (using the status->logs page in the web UI).
If you are comfortable with linux shell commands, you could enable ssh on the NV+. That gives you more troubleshooting options (letting you do the kind of repairs that mdgm made remotely). The add-on for that is here: https://kb.netgear.com/24546/Add-ons-for-RAIDiator-4-1-3-Sparc?cid=wmt_netgear_organic ssh access can be useful, but you can do a lot of damage if you don't know what you are doing.
I don't think that Clear Logs button actually clears much. If you must clear it I'd download the logs before clearing it unless you suspect the root volume is very full.
