I was told to stop and start the whd using SSH, in the virtual appliance but when I tried to start it it failed due to lack of space any one help
Thanks Support (Daniel and Marcella) now solved.
Problem was the virtual appliance has only 5.8 GB of disk space assigned (needs to be made bigger at some point to 20 GB) and most of that was being clogged up with many backups. deleted the backups and bam got the space back.
