I've seen this error posted here twice before. In both cases it was a full root volume. Is the web ui giving you any indication of that? Did you install any apps after the reset?
If it is a full root, then it should be fixable without more expense. One option (painful) is to do yet another reset.

My Fix will be the purchase of a Netgear ReadyNas 626X 6 Bay Diskless, this seems available for about $1200
A few months back they were available for $900-$1000, but they were $1200 or more back early 2019. Supply has been limited (and there has been some speculation that Netgear is exiting the NAS business). FWIW, I have no information on that.
Anyway, the price is a somewhat high, but not crazy. Not sure where you are located, but there is one I see at the $1000 price point here: https://bluesquarepower.com/netgear-readynas-626x-6-bay-rn626x00-100nes.html
There are a couple of RN42x systems out there that are around $600 (they are gigabit only).

Stephen- Thanks for the quick reply, I did see the one for $1050, (Blue Square Power) but tried to look them up, on the netgear authorized resellers list, but could not find them. (they claim they are, but I have found people lie) I feel the 5 year warranty is important, and want to make sure they are legit. The CDW, was the $1200.00 price, they say,it should be in stock by the 9th, I am sure they are authorized Netgear Dealers.
As far as the 516 goes, I have no problem, doing another factory reset, as there is no data in it, or expectations- I think I might have done it twice, but will try again, the resysc is so slow- I couldn't care less. I figure with the Factory reset it blanks all drives, and starts as new, maybe there is an issue, with the bad bus, causing this errror. (but I will give it another shot)
Has anyone bought anything such as a ready NAS from Blue Square Power listed in the earlier link?
Lastly, I feel that I would rather goto the 626, than the RN4 series, as most all of that is EOL, and if Netgear quits making the NAS,I would rather have a Later Netgear than one of these non Netgear out there.
I spent about a week looking, and the (Blue Square Power/CDW were the only sellers out there, I could find.($1200 or less for a new Netgear NAS)
Thanks again-
Jeff

Just to clarify this: The RN520 and RN620 series were launched in 2016; the RN420 series were launched in 2017. So the RN420 series is a year newer than the RN620.
The RN626 does have some advantages - it supports 10 gigabit ethernet, and has server-grade (error correcting) RAM.

JohnCM_S , Marc_V : is something you can check? They aren't on this list: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/NETGEAR_Authorized_Resellers.pdf But I don't know if it is up do date.
I have both the 516 and the 626X. The 626X is a nice upgrade from the 516. The only thing I miss from the 516 is the HDMI port (which probably doesn't matter too much to most users anyway).
The quad-core CPU in the 620 series and 10GBASE-T are great.
The 520 series replaced the 516 and the 620 series replaced the 716X.
The 420 series replaced the 300 series and is the lower end of the desktop ReadyNAS that have Intel CPUs.Stephen-
I called Blue Square Power, and asked if they were a Netgear Authorized Reseller, they claimed they were, they told me the reason that they were not listed, was that they were not a Fortune 500 Company. (and only Fortune 500 are listed) Sounds like a fraud to Me.
CDW auctually offers the RN626X00 ReadyNas 6 Bay Diskless at 1,140.00
when you sign up at the website, with availability at 5/9- everyone else says not available. I belive I will go that way.
I did reset the 516 again, but can't get into it yet to check for errors, due to resync, yet
MDGM- Thanks for the info, I really was leaning toward the 626, this makes me feel, I am going in the right direction
Stephen- I finally was able to check the progress of the 516 after doing a Final Factory Reset, I checked this twice, and found NO ERRORS
finally!@! (Except for the original Command timeouts, which have not moved at all)Stephen you were right to have me try this again. I did order the 626X, but at least the 516 could act as a usable backup for the 626X. (maybe)
Thanks again for your help.
