After three years of faithful service, 4.7 crashed on my home network server.  Booting from a USB stick, the system hangs.  I powered down and tried to view the syslog.  Message received "cp cannot create regular file /boot/syslog.txt : No space left on device"

 

Powered down the system and did a login.  Entered cp /var/log/syslog  /boot.  The resultant log is attached.

 

Server description:  Gateway MEATXSTL KTH 300L, AMD Celeron, 500Mb RAM, 2 SATA Hitachi 500 Gb hard drives, Linux Version 2.6.32.9, SanDisk Cruzer Micro 2 Gb.

 

Need help/advice recovering.

Look going for the easy fix first. I am guessing that since. Having all array disks should not through up a error on boot. I suggest you remove the flash drive put it in a pc and see how full it is if it is not full run chkdisk and see if it can fix any errors. My hunch is that 3 years of log files have filled the usb drive so removing any files you don't need will fix this.

Thornwood,

A scan of the flash drive shows 55.5Mb used and 1.81Gb free.  Chkdisk found nothing.

 

Tower is no longer found after I click on Computer/Network.  Then I booted unraid from the flash drive, and loged in as root.  Entered ifconfig, but didn't see an ip address.  Don't know how to capture text from the server.  Will try to retype first few lines.

 

etho. Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr po:22:6b:c3:1c:79

        UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500. METRIC:1

       

Should I not see an ip address in the first line?  My server and Windows desktop are connected to the router by coax.
