ReadyNAS RN104 - System volume root's usage is 86%. Antivirus does not work
I got the alert: System volume root's usage is 86%. This condition should not occur under normal conditions. Contact technical support.
Also my Antivirus is not updating anymore since March 5th , 2019.
With SSH, I deleted all the .tmp-directories in var/lib/clamav. Because these directorie were eating my capacity in the root. So the root is not critical anymore.
I turned off the antivirus service. But how do i get the antivirus working properly again?
Antivirus is actually removed on the RN100 series due to the capability of the RN100 series to maintain ClamAV and the ReadyNAS operations effectively so to be able to provide future updates and security enhancements on the RN100 series, NETGEAR has to pull off ClamAV.
If you really want to get ClamAV working on your RN104 then you don't have to update to 6.10 but continued usage of ClamAV on your RN104 might degrade performance overtime. You might want to check other threads on removing the files filling up the OS volume before restarting your Antivirus or if you have full backup of your NAS, Factory reset is another option.

Hi Marc_V
Thanks for your answer. It is clear.
Fortunately, I do not need the antivirus on my NAS. I haven't it connected directly to the internet ans I use the NAS only as a classic network storage solution. No apps and no downloads etc.
Hopefully OS 6.10 will remove the legacy of the Antivirus properly, othwerwise I need to do it by myself manually. Always a risk...

Firmware 6.10.0
I was getting the same message (although mine was 95%) I managed to upgrade to 6.10.10 via the USB recovery version as I could no longer access the admin page on my browsers.
I not get dailly emails to say "Antivirus scanner definition file update failed due to download failure" and another to say "System volume root's usage is 95%. This condition should not occur under normal conditions. Contact technical support."
Tecnical support will not help as the unit is out of warrenty.
I have tried again to use the USB recovery and it keeps failing and switching the unit off.
Is there a way to log into the system and delete some files?
I have downloaded the system log using RAIDar (can't attach due to it being a zip file).
Thanks in advance.
Stuart.
I can still access the volumes / files; just not the admin page etc.

That was risky, it would have been much better to deal with the full OS partition first.
