Are there any temp files or old logs that you can delete to free up space for fresh firmware? -------------------------- Brian Kelsay Sr. IT Support Specialist Anadarko Industries Inc. working for Technical Support Division (TSD) USDA/OCIO/ITS/TSD/LO-KC Office: 816-823-4859 Mobile: 816-769-5615 Email: brian.kelsay@kcc.usda.gov Message Sent using BlackBerry Device ________________________________ From: kclug-bounces@kclug.org <kclug-bounces@kclug.org> To: KCLUG <kclug@kclug.org> Sent: Wed Jun 02 12:08:30 2010 Subject: Re: Synology & Fsck On Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 10:47 PM, Sean Crago <cragos@gmail.com<mailto:cragos@gmail.com>> wrote: If the list is coming back to life, then I've got a weird but hopefully simple problem for you: I've got a Synology DiskStation DS209 NAS that's giving me erroneous free space readings, or erroneous du output.

Also, power situation is abysmal here, and I'm not convinced it's shutting down properly when it detects that it's on UPS power.
You also might try running du -sh /* to see a summary of what it thinks it is using. How many inodes are allocated and how many inodes are free? Any inodes deallocated? This looks like an inode issue. Use df to find out the inode situation. What does fsck say about the filesystem?

Almost forgot, could be a huge open file somewhere. Try using lsof to find deleted still open files or the cause of the discrepancy.
