Volume: System volume root's usage is XX%.
Since adding new HDDs and resyncing, I've been getting the following error message:
Volume: System volume root's usage is XX%. This condition should not occur in normal conditions. Contact technical support.
It started at 81%, increased in 1% increments to 85%, and then fell to 84% — all over the course of about four days. The messages are appearing in the logs every ten minutes, and I'm getting alert e-mails with the same frequency.
I contacted tech support but there has been silence after creating the ticket. My 314 has just been sitting in diagnostic mode for the past 24+ hours with no word on whether or not they have identified the cause or a solution.
There are some other posts on this topic in the forums, but they seem related to specific apps (Logitech Media Server, Crashplan, btsync). Is there a "universal" way to go about identifying what might be eating up so much space in the 4GB rootfs partition? And what exactly constitutes the rootfs partition — everything but "data"?
I sent mdgm-ntgr a PM, too, but haven't heard anything.

Hi nsne,
Could you provide us a copy of the device logs? Also PM me the case or ticket number you received from support.
Kind regards,

NETGEAR Community TeamJust sent a PM to you. Eager to hear what the status is on the case and if any solutions are available.
For the sake of posterity, the device logs. I wonder if the ten-minute intervals are exacerbating the problem?

About 1GB of the 4GB OS partition is being used by the LMS app alone.
# du -csh /var/lib/squeezeboxserver 691M /var/lib/squeezeboxserver 691M total # du -csh /usr/share/squeezeboxserver 307M /usr/share/squeezeboxserver 307M total
When apps store a lot of data on the OS partition that does contribute to getting error messages like this. There are a few other things as well that have contributed to the high root volume usage.The usage going up then down then back up again would relate to log truncation/pruning presumably.
Most things that are not stored on the data volume would be stored on the root volume.
Any help here?
/dev/md0 is the OS partition. It is fuller than usual, but still appears to have quite a bit of space.
Maybe best to wait on support.
