RN424 System volume root's usage is 90%
Hi,
I'm seeing this log message on my RN424:
Volume: System volume root's usage is 90%. This condition should not occur under normal conditions. Contact technical support.
My guess is that Plex is eating up a lot of diskspace. Is there a way to safely either increase the root volume size or move the Plex database to another volume?
Thx.

Re: RN424 System volume root's usage is 90%
The plex database should be on the data volume (/data/.apps) - so I think the cause is likely something else.
What firmware are you running?
Do you have ssh enabled?
What other apps (or packages) are installed on the NAS?

Firmware 6.9.5.
No other apps/packages installed.
SSH not enabled. Only SMB, HTTP, and HTTPS services enabled.

Ok. So DLNA and Antivirus are not enabled?

I looked through some of the system logs but can't find anything obvious. I do have a few emails in the queue that hasn't been sent for months (I never setup the email notification system). I can't imagine that eating up so much disk space though.

It'd be wise to make sure you have an up-to-date backup of the files on the NAS.
To resolve the issue, you could use paid Netgear support (my.netgear.com). If you are already familiar with the linux command line interface, you could go in with ssh and attempt to diagnose it yourself.
Alternatively, you could do a factory reset, reconfigure the ReadyNAS and restore the files from your backup.

Re: RN424 System volume root's usage is 90%
I enabled ssh and logged onto the NAS. There is a huge numer of chunk-stream1-xxxxx.m4s and sub-chunk-0000 files in the root of the system volume. They are dated to just before I started getting the volume usage warnings. Are they safe to delete? I'm guessing they're from Plex, but this hasn't happened before. And it's odd that they are in root.

Deleted the files. Seems to be okay.

They are from Plex, and were used for real-time transcoding. I agree it's odd that they are in root.
