troubles after upgrade to 6.6.1 readynas 204

[g7pkf]

After upgrade to 6.6.1 ready nas refuses to fully boot, a short press of power button shows mysql.

raidar finds it but says management service is offline, i cannot download logs or anything as not accepting passwords.

cannot browse to it cannot do anything as it refuses to accept password? i know password is correct.

Possibly.

bit odd it did it straight after upgrade?

all working now.

update

tried an os recovery from boot menu, still no joy sticks at 98-99% at the mysql.service.

further update. had to do a video as it only flashes up on screen!!!

boot menu os install

loading

booting

checking root fs

updating fw

error could not properly extract

then it does its norm anmd sticks at 98-99% mysql.service

as this is not working I assume a factory reset will not as well?

Heres a lesson to ALL BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP.

I did (well all the important stuff)

so glad i did as a factory reset fixed it.

now a full reset up required and a restore! that will take about a day LOL but at leasdt I had the backup!! well thats after a full re-sync LOL (that will take hours-4X4TB drives!)

Sounds like you probably had a full 4GB root volume, perhaps due to an app e.g. MySQL storing data on the root volume instead of the data volume.

Not really.  It downloads the upgrade to the OS partition before it installs it.  That likley took the last of your available space and the OS could not clean up after the upgrade without enough working space.
