If the NAS is used, then Netgear won't provide paid support. readynasd is the Netgear NAS application itself.
Have you tried booting up the NAS read-only? Probably worth doing before you try going into tech support mode.
Though if this isn't critical, I'd suggest just doing a factory default and rebuilding the NAS.

The btrfs errors cause me to suspect the /data filesystem is corrupted (though it does sound like root is messed up also).
Do you have a backup of the data?

StephenBThis now failing NAS is use to backup 3 other NAS that I own. I am exploiting btrfs snapshots to keep multiple versions of files that changed on the 3 other NAS.
There is a few files that I'd really like to get to on the /data partition but, assuing the none of the other 3 NAS dies on me, I have no critical data on the failing NAS that I cannot recreate.
Should I have seen warnings about the btrfs errors? Was there a way to check the health of the btrfs /data partition before it died on me?
Thanks.
