Volume: System volume root's usage is 95%. This condition should not occur in normal conditions.

You can check if that data is important e.g. using commands such as
# ls -laR /media/USB_FLASH_6
and if not you can delete it using the rm command. If it is important and you don't have another copy of it you should copy it to the data volume before deleting the copy from the root volume.

Gosh...I am useless can not find that...:( there is not such log name... I can send you the logs in zip...- Retired_Member
No, please, do not send the logs. Instead, on the admin webpage go to System/Settings and in the services section disable Antivirus by clicking on the concerned button. Make sure, that you keep HTTP, HTTPS and SMB enabled.

As a temporary solution/workaround just switch off the Antivirus service and reboot to see, whether its getting back to normal. If it helps, keep it disabled and wait for the fw 6.7 to be released.

OK as a temporary solution I will switch off the antivirus engine and observe. So far I switched off UPNP with Netgear Cloud. , ITunes, SNMP, SSH and Rsync are disabled by default although I was trying to get iTunes running last night, strange.
Thanks
