Thanks. It is useful.

It was tryin gto extract rot image, but ERROR: could mount boot flash [/dev/null1] no such file or directory

Sounds like you need to do a USB recovery: How-do-I-use-the-USB-Recovery-Tool-on-my-ReadyNAS-OS-6-storage-system
Sorry I was writing on cellphone.
my 628x is okay. I made an image of the internal USB and burned the image to USB flash, then boot my PC with that USB. I got the above error. I guess that is because there is no flash drive as a real readynas does.
ReadyNAS OS checks that it is running on Netgear hardware and will not boot on anything else except a VM with very specific limitations. If you want to study the OS, you are going to need to use Linux tools, not Windows. I recommend you use a VM, not a real NAS: Creating-an-instance-of-Raidiator-6-10-8-as-a-virtual-machine
my Virtualbox mamchine VM has no HDD Gb limitation. Just created 100Gb and works fine. i am sure it can be even bigger.
Where is that 20 GB limitation from?
