Hello Team, I have a ReadyNAS 314, which has been working fine for last few years. Current Firmware: 6.10.4 Suddnely, I am unable to start the SMB service on it. Based on some other discussions, ...

I followed the suggestion to look for left over files from Plex, there isn't anything:
root@MukeshNAS:~# mount --bind / /mnt
root@MukeshNAS:~# cd /mnt
root@MukeshNAS:/mnt# find . -name chunk*.m4s
root@MukeshNAS:/mnt#
Ok. There are certainly other possibilities, but it's hard to explain what to look for.
When I mount my OS partition this way, I then see
root@NAS:/mnt# du -sh * 0 apps 6.4M bin 0 boot 0 data 24K dev 11M etc 30M frontview 0 ftp_ban.tbl 0 home 4.0K homes 33M lib 4.0K lib64 0 media 0 mnt 4.6M opt 0 proc 40K root 0 run 11M sbin 0 srv 0 sys 0 tmp 273M usr 613M var root@NAS:/mnt#
That might give you some idea on where the space is going.
No idea on what's happening with the smb.service problem though.
Thanks StephenB
I can understand that it's difficult to troubleshoot via these messages, but I appreciate you looking into this for me.
Here is the output:
du -sh *
0 1
0 apps
6.4M bin
0 boot
0 data
24K dev
13M etc
30M frontview
0 ftp_ban.tbl
0 home
4.0K homes
33M lib
4.0K lib64
428K log-archive
12K logs
0 media
0 mnt
4.7M opt
0 proc
24K root
0 run

0 srv
0 sys
1.4M tmp
268M usr
1.9G var
0 vault
Looks like var directory is consuming most of the space.
Are you thinking that factory reset might be the only option to fix this issue with SMB?
You can delete the folders that weren't in my list. And you can delete everything in tmp.
Going down a level, here is what I see in /mnt/var
root@NAS:/mnt/var# du -sh * 104M backups 45M cache 0 cores 0 ftp 386M lib 0 local 4.0K lock 59M log 0 mail 8.0K netatalk 0 opt 20M readynasd 4.0K run 4.0K spool 0 tmp 4.0K www root@NAS:/mnt/var#

It's perhaps not the only way, but it is one way, and we easily could end up there.
