Cisco Edge 340 Root Drive Full

[Chris Huras]

So the problem im having with these Edge 340 devices is that im not able to update the firmware version. I will try and load the new firmware image to the OPT folder remotely but before it finished it states the drive is full. When this happens i cannot login to the web interface. It will come up to the login page but when i enter the credentials and click login it does nothing. I can remedy this by deleting the file i attempted to upload freeing up space on the root but the problem still persists that im not able to upgrade.

The main reason for needing to upgrade to Version 1.1 is we have a media presentation that auto loads when the box is turned on. For some reason when the box reboots itself once a day it will come up to the login screen and you will need to plug in a keyboard and to manually login to get to the media presentation. This does not happen on the new firmware. The unfortunate part is once it gets to this point i am unable to do anything as the Root becomes too full to hold the update. 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
