ReadyNAS 214 volume is set to Read Only, please help.
My ReadyNAS 214 suddenly set to Read Only, And when I go to the logs, it just said "Volume: The volume data encountered an error and was made read-only. It is recommended to backup your data." I h...

Some of the logs have rotated, but I also am not seeing any disk issues on the data volume. I am seeing issues with the btrfs metadata being corrupted.

There are a lot of other transid verify errors, but most are duplicative (identical).
Best option here is to back up the data and then do a factory default. After that, reconfigure the NAS, restore the data, reinstall apps. While this is a lot of work, it ensures that you get a clean file system.
Since most of the errors are identical, it might be possible to repair. But this is risky, so making a full backup first is important.
Although I am not seeing errors on the data volume drives, I am seeing errors on two usb drives:
Oct 06 22:17:38 bliao-readynas kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdf, sector 15099759872

It's possible this is the same drive (with a different drive letter).
Finally, the OS partiton appears to be fuller than usual. Not yet dangerous, but still something to take a look at after the main issues are resolved.
=== df -h ===
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0 3.7G 2.0G 1.6G 57% /
Normally the OS is about 25% full.

Thank you so much for looking at it StephenB. I am not concerned about the USB external disk errors for now. But the ReadyNAS volume set to ready-only with no significant errors makes me crazy. You are right, it seems the best option for now is backup the data and reset the NAS which is paint since I need to find 20TB of storage space to back up the data.
Many thank you to look at it and providing some advise.
