Can't access WebGUI or SSH due to space constraint, but server appears to be working/up

Featured Replies

Hi all, I'm currently in a different country to my server hence physical access right now is impossible. When I attempt to log in to the WebGUI remotely I get the following errors. If I try to SSH on the default SSH port I get "connection refused". I can't remember if that's because I never enabled SSH access or if I changed the port (unlikely because I would have kept a secure note with the port number). I'm sure it's not a firewall issue as I can log into a machine on the same network and can ping my Unraid server successfully.

Questions:

 

  1. Assuming no physical access, and with no SSH is there any way I can reboot the box? (not sure if that will even help...)
  2. Logging into "MyServers" if I try to access the WebGUI that way, it attempts to use a local server address which doesn't DNS resolve as I am not on my home network. I don't have VPN. Is there any way I can change the IP it tries to use, I can't see any account settings that might help. For example the URL it attempts to use is myservername.local instead of an IP address (Again not sure if that will even help).
  3. If there is nothing I can do without physical access, any idea what I can do when I return home and regain access? Will a reboot fix? If not, how can I access - right now the box doesn't have a keyboard and screen attached but that can be arranged if necessary.
  4. And the million dollar question, why is this happening in the first place? I assume it means there is no space on my Unraid USB key, as my array has TBs of free space. Once I'm in somehow, I'll need to get to the bottom of it to fix.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you have a root password? With recent releases SSH won't work without one.

 

Those errors look like something ran out of memory, possibly rootfs, see if you can find someone to type 'reboot' on the console.

Thanks for the response. Yes I have the root password, but I get connection refused by SSH before being asked for it. If I try to enter the root password via WebGUI then the authentication succceeds but then I am met with the "no space left" error.

# ssh [email protected] -p 22

ssh: Connection to [email protected]:22 exited: Connect failed: Connection refused

^ not my real IP above. No matter which port I specify, or if I omit the -p parameter, I get the same error.

I finally regained physical access to my device. Reboot fixed the issue. I've no idea how/why this happened.
