ReadyNAS Ultra 4 unable to upgrade etc.

Hi,

A problem has just started occurring with my ReadyNAS Ultra 4 as such. It started with windows losing access to shares (I was copying a few hundred files over to the NAS and it kept disconnecting from the network drive) so I restarted the NAS. Since then frontview works but seems to be broken in many places:

Restarting box via Frontview does not work
Upgrading to latest firmware says "not valid for this architecture"
Disabling addons etc. does not save
The "Logs" screen now just shows "No logs exist" and "Download All Logs" produces <payload>Empty No Support</payload>

Additionally I can now no longer access drive shares across the network from my windows PC. I do have RootSSH enabled (I installed dropbox a while ago) and I can still SSH in and everything looks in order (I can see the data is still there in the share directories) - what logs should I be looking at to see the reason for the above issues?

I have additionally performed a full memory test via the boot menu with no errors & an offline disk scan with no errors. Is an OS Reinstall likely to fix the issues I'm seeing?

Many thanks,

James

All sorted. Solution was that dropbox was downloading daily updates (new .dropbox-dist-new directories were being created in /tmp) which made /tmp run out of space. Have removed these and reinstalled dropbox and will monitor to check this doesn't keep happening.

What version of the Dropbox add-on? If not running the latest please update to that.
