Volume root's usage is 100%
I updated to the latest firmware 4-5 days ago. Last night I received this email: Notice LOGMSG_FIRMWARE_UPDATE_NOTICE This morning I received this email: Critical System volume root's usa...
I upgraded to the latest which was 6.7.4. It's asking to update to 6.7.5, but it keeps giving me an error.
I have just enabled SSH.
Have you located the files in the OS partition that are filling it up?
How do I do that?
First log in using putty (windows) or terminal (mac). The username is root, the password is the same as the NAS admin password.
Usually the problem is in /var, so let's start there. Enter
find /var -printf '%s %p\n'| sort -nr | head -20
That will (eventually) list the 20 largest files in /var. You can paste that output here.
Thanks. It is a bunch of movies under var/ftp/Videos/Movies. I also recently enabled ftp to transfer some movies. What did I do wrong?
