Hi Im in a bit of strife with my RT-AC5300

After a reboot Im getting the following in syslog
Code:

I issued the following command df -h

Code:

It shows some filesystems at 100% - any idea how I correct this issue please?

Does a scan report of the top 20 largest files on '/tmp/' give any clue?
Code:
du -axh /tmp/ | sort -nr | head -n 20

im getting blocked by snbforums when i try and post output

Hmm, you are look for files sizes in MB/GB.
Try the command again, but remove 'x'.... just in case

I think i found it - it may have been a corruption on my Toshiba 4Tb drive hanging off the Router. When I initially ran your command one of the outputs was a 250 MByte file /tmp/mnt/TOSHIBA_EXT/Better_Call_Saul.mkv - and another 250Mbyte file pointing to /tmp/mnt/TOSHIBA_EXT(1)/Better _Call_Saul.mkv. I deleted both of these and now when I run
du -axh /tmp/ | sort -nr | head -n 20 - there is no reference to /tmp/mnt/TOSHIBA_EXT and the largest file is 804.0Kn/tmp/bwdpi. Or - I must have put the download file ( 250MBYTE ) in the wrong directory space when I was experimenting with aria2 Torrent downloader. Anyway
thank you very very much for your expert guidance - it was also extremely crazy not being able to post the full output because snb was continually blocking me - something the site filter is not happy with
