Cannot update firmware on EX4100

My My Cloud EX4100 (4x6TB) refuses to update the firmware. I’m currently on 5.11.112 and it hasn’t been updated since March. When I try to use the Update Now button in the dashboard, it stops at around 21% or so. When I try to manually upload a downloaded image file, I get “Firmware file not found. Please try again.”

I think my problem is the rootfs / /dev/root folder is only 54.2M and is unable to accommodate the firmware update file size. I believe this is the OS folder, which is usually 1.9GB. I’ve never had any issues until the 5.11.112 update.

I’m not sure what to do to fix it, and can only do the basic SSH commands.

Here’s my outputs via SSH.

df -h

Anyone else run into this issue and have a solution?

while we wait for a better answer you might try a progressive update
ie
5.12.108
5.13.115
5.14.105
5.15.106

might be that getting one of those to load can clear up the size problem.
