RN204 Recovery From my Stupid Mistake
First, this is a problem of my own making, I know that. I have a ReadyNAS RN204 with 4 x 4TB drives. I had it upgraded to 6.10.8. It uses the Annapurna ARM processor. I was using ZeroTier to r...

From there you can start RAID and chroot by entering
# rnutil chroot
Note that /apps is a mount point to the data volume, so if you installed Nord there you will need to mount it.
If you do need that access and use X-RAID, you can mount it with
# btrfs device scan
# btrfs fi show
# mount /dev/md127 /data
If you use Flex-RAID with a single volume, you just substitute your volume name instead of using /data. With multiple volumes, you do need to know the correct RAID group (mdxxx) to mount.
Stephan,
Thanks so much for the pointer. I managed to get myself back up and running.
What I ended up doing was going in through chroot, then:
1. Manually deleting all traces of NordVPN
2. Manually deleting all of the symbolic links to glibc that was only partially updated. Thankfully all of the version 2.19 binaries were still there.
3. Recreating all of the symbolic links to point back at the correct version.
4. Did an OS reinstall, which got me to a non-chroot terminal
5. Apt clean update upgrade
6. Reboot
7. Recreate all of my network connections
8. Download Zerotier and install
9. Manually create a bridge and put eth1 and virtual ZT interface in it.
10. Number the bridge
AND BOOM, back to where I started. No more messing around.
I did install syslog-ng and point it at one of my btfs shares so I can log everything else on my network.
Leave well enough alone.
Thanks,
Bob
