root file system full - huge chunk files

[shoemoney]

Hello,

I am running 6.7.3 and tried to upgrade to .4 and got the message there was not enough room.

So I ssh'd in and started looking and noticed my / was full.

I 

mount --bind / /mnt

then in /mnt/  I discovered there was over 1300 chunk files all about 2-3mb

I tried 

btrfs balance start -dusage=1 / &

but it didnt move anything.

Can I remove these or any ideas?

Balancing won't delete files.

I don't know what these files are. Are they right under /mnt??

Can you do:

du -d1 -h /mnt

So they are right under /mnt. 

I would:

1. Take a full backup of the data.
2. Try to delete those chunk files.

Since I don't know what they are, you have to prepare for the worst. Deleting them may destroy the system volume and prevent the NAS from booting.

Alternatively you can contact NETGEAR for (paid) Support.
