mount_block_root +267 error RN516 out of warranty by 2 months
Owned and running my 516 since 2013. A true work horse.
I went to move the unit, properly shut it down, for some construction being done in my basement.
Plugged it in, turned it on, now...
It might not be the chassis hardware.
Remove the disks (labeling by slot), and then insert a test disk (that you don't mind reformatting). Then try to do a factory default via the boot menu. See pages 120-121 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
Let us know if that procedure works.
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, the unit will not boot or give me anything other than the error above whether the disks are in the chasis or not.

Then it's likely to be the flash memory. USB recovery is the right solution, but it is a tricky procedure. Perhaps try again with a different flash drive.
Though I haven't needed to do a USB recovery myself, I've been told that it can be tricky to press the O.K. button at just the right moment.
Also, I did try holding the reset button in and turning the unit on to get into boot mode. That does not work either.
