How might I direct Roon Server logs away from the root partition? My root partition filled up.
Are you certain these logs are the culprit? I’d be surprised if they occupy vast amounts of space. Use df with sort to examine how space is used.
Whilst you can mount another partition or logical volume to any folder, you first need to describe how Roon was installed. Is it on a dedicated SSD, the root filesystem, or a container?

Hi mjw,
The Synology support team said Roon was the culprit. I ran the Roon on NAS install from Chris Rieke’s page. The Roon software and the Roon database are on a USB SSD; the music files are on spinning disks:
Is Roon running on the same disk as your root partition?
If so, then to check the size of the Roon installation, including logs, type this from the command prompt.
du -cha --max-depth=2 /beetlessd/RoonOnNAS |grep -E "M|G"
If Roon runs as root, and you see a cannot read or cannot access message, prepend sudo to the command. I’m assuming, from the screenshot, that beetlessd is mounted at / (root.)
Also, please execute this, too.
sudo du --exclude=/proc --exclude=/run -cha --max-depth=1 / |grep -E "M|G"
Please post the results, which will look similar to this.
sudo du --exclude=/proc --exclude=/run -cha --max-depth=1 / |grep -E “M|G”

Can you please run the commands as described, and use the full path from / (root). What you posted is neither the entire Roon installation nor your / (root) filesystem.
What you posted is incomplete, and only shows 630 MB of storage in use – this too small for Roon, and certainly isn’t the cause of the disk running out of space.

Please let me know what you think.
That’s because the path is incorrect. As an example, I based it on this image since I do not know the full path.
However, you’ve already shown ./volumeUSB1/usbshare/RoonOnNAS, so you need to locate the parent folder(s). It could be /mnt or /media. The webGUI should say where the volume is mounted.
However, if you run this, I can probably tell.
sudo du --exclude=/proc --exclude=/run -cha --max-depth=3 / |grep -E "M|G"

That’s all Roon is using. This seems a little low, but this all depends on the size of your database. The app used ~200 MB, and the logs ~15 MB. My database and data are 1.3 GB.
So, it would seem that the issue isn’t Roon.
If you append | sort -n to the last command it will show you the largest folders first.
I wonder if there is something wrong with my installation. This is the rough size in terms of tracks…does that seem about right for the amount of storage used?
There is definitely something odd and I keep having to kill Roon Remote instances. And something was preventing Synology package updates.
I appreciate the help and insights, thank you
Your library is comparable in size to mine, so it looks like something is wrong–you should have 1-2 GB for the DB. Even so, that isn’t much, and it’s not your / (root) drive anyway.
I don’t know how QNAP organizes the filesystem, but /volume1 is consuming the most space, and you have some pretty large folders.

The last two look suspicious, and may account for a duplicate 62 GB.
