Readynas NV+ Frontview Inaccessible. How to fix with Telnet?

[BWA]

I have a Readynas NV+ which no longer allows access to Frontview. This is more than likely related to log file size and my OS partition. I recently performed a factory reset and forgot to enable SSH add-on. Now I am unable to acces the root directory. I was wondering if there are options for this? I was trying to do it through Telnet, but without success. I have around 4TB data and don't want to back it up (it would take days) and wondering if anybody has any ideas. 

- Thanks

Thanks for your help. It was that the log files were too large. I had a readynasremote.log file that was very large. Upon deleting this file, frontview was able to load. 

Thanks again,

Just to make sure I get the sequence:

-you did a factory reset, restored the NAS data, but didn't enable ssh

-later on the NAS won't let you access frontview?

You can mount the OS partition from telnet:

# start_raid.sh
# mount /dev/md0 /sysroot

Thanks for quick reply. I did the above forementioned. Once I access the sysroot, do I need to delete the log files? Or is there anything else I should do.

THANKS!

For some reason it will not let me mount sysroot. Not sure why not...

Are you getting an error?

Perhaps try 

mount /dev/hdc1 /sysroot

[BWA]

Yes, 

  "Mounting /dev/md0 on /sysroot failed: Invalid argument "

[BWA]

I was able to mount using "mount /dev/hdc1 /sysroot"; however, I am not sure how I am supposed to get to the larger log/corrupted files. I run it as a DLNA server, which I am assuming may be causing some of the problems... 

[StephenB]

Go into sysroot, and then enter 

df . -h

df . -i

The first command will tell you if the OS partition is out of space, the second will tell you if it is out of inodes.

You can look in /var/log  and  /var/cache/minidlna (adjusting for the mount point).

After you resolve it, there is toggle add-on what will move the minidlna cache to the c volume.  That add-on is here: http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/4.1/Toggle_ReadyDLNA_CacheDir_1.0.bin
