Yes, this is the problem - a completely full OS partition.
Do you know how to find the largest files?
You can try moving into the top level folders - for instance cd /var
Then try this: du -hsx * | sort -rh | head -10

I would appreciate that support look into this instead of suggesting that I purchase a new NAS.
Support is no longer available, and it's been a long time since Netgear responded to a post here. They wouldn't tell you to purchase a new ReadyNAS, since there are none. The most recent ReadyNAS platforms were launched in 2017.
- What model NAS do you own?
- Have you tried all the USB ports on the NAS?
- How are you formatting the drives?
Stephen, thanks for your reply.
It's a ReadyNAS RN102.
I'm connecting to the NAS using a mac and in finder I can now see the USB drive and it's contents but it is not appearing in the NAS console and so I can't run any of the backup jobs.
The drives were formatted as ntfs and were last working on the 12th December 2024.

Have you tried all three USB ports on the NAS (including the USB 2.0 port on the front)?
Hi Stephen, it's firmware 6.10.10 and yes i have tried all USB ports.
I also tried to downgrade the firmware and it accepts the img file but then does not prompt me to install the firmware.
