Which services are you running?

Your logs from the rsyslog app (syslog, daemon.log and messages) have grown huge.
# du -csh /mnt/var/log/* | grep "M\|G" 7.1M /mnt/var/log/auth.log 720M /mnt/var/log/daemon.log 9.6M /mnt/var/log/debug 1.6M /mnt/var/log/frontview 57M /mnt/var/log/journal 1.4M /mnt/var/log/kern.log.old 350M /mnt/var/log/messages 1.1M /mnt/var/log/proftpd.log 4.8M /mnt/var/log/readynasd 1.1G /mnt/var/log/syslog 1.4M /mnt/var/log/user.log 2.2G total
After emptying those three log files your root volume usage is back down to 29%.

Well rsyslog is not installed by default. Sometimes it seem the logs from that app are not rotated/pruned properly. Not sure what would've caused that. We have logs already e.g. in systemd-journal.log so rsyslog does double up on logging stuff that's already logged via another method.
