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%.

Thank you, what would have caused that?

[mdgm-ntgr]

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.
