Web interface settings are not saved anymore

Hello,

I tried to find as much topic related to mine on this forum but didn't really find anything useful so here I go.

Yesterday suddenly nothing was available (CIFS, AFP, FTP etc ...) all the services stopped working I went on the web interface (https://192.168.1.x/admin) and was surprised to see AFP disabled on all the share whereas it used to be enabled... I re-enabled it for every share and everything went back to normal.

Today it did the same thing but everything is disabled for every share AND all the service are disabled in the "services" tab.
Now I can't change any settings anymore, anything I try is not saved, I tried rebooting, reinstalling firmware, don't know what else to do :/

I made this 20 sec videos so you can get a better idea of what I'm talking about : http://d.pr/v/6FFp/4dijI1PE

Any thoughts ?

Thanks !

    You almost certainly have a full OS partition. Check your PM.

    Turns out there was a folder in /home/ftp that filled the OS partition. Moved it to the /c volume. Also as I suspected I needed to copy the default /etc/default/services file.

    You may find services you had enabled are disabled and vice versa. If you wish to continue to use add-ons you had installed you will need to install them again.
  • I don't know if it should be doing that but it's booting up -> shutting down -> booting up etc ... in cycle !

    That could be because of shell scripts left behind in /var/spool/frontview

    Any better now?
