Thanks,
I was able to fix my system by killing smb and nfs, and turning off the machines that had an iscsi connection. This allowed the apache to stablize in safe mode and for me to reload the firmware. The install was successful, but it still did not restart on its own; I still had to force it off about an hour of waiting.

Upgrading the FW to 6.10.5 has seemingly broke apache.
If Netgear had any quality in their documentation, there would be explanations on using ssh and cli to upgrade/reinstall fw/sw to correct issues.

There is a hotfix for this problem. If it hasn't been installed yet, then reboot the NAS.

Where is the hotfix located? I do blieve though that the upgrade process was interrupted, and a reload from flash may be required.

Sounds like you have SSH enabled. You can do e.g.
# dpkg -l | grep readynasos ii readynasos 6.10.5+1 amd64 ReadyNASOS base system
See the +1. If you see that that would indicate you have hotfix 1 installed.
Though my understanding is that the hot-fix fixes a problem with the management service (readynasd). apache2 going into safe mode is usually related to an issue with the apache configuration for an app.

Thanks, I am not running the hotfix, however, I have no web access to update; Are there instructions on updating/repairing from ssh, instead of using the blind, power-button method?
Is there a method to backup the configuration via cli?
