Hi again Marc,
Thank you very much for your help so far.
Unfortunately, read only boot gets to the same spot and gets stuck as well.
Do you think an OS Reinstall would likely resolve that? Does it clean the OS partition when reinstalls?
Otherwise, do you have any sort of guide on how to communicate with the device in Tech Support mode?
Thanks

OS-Reinstall will not help on the full system root volume issue. It would be best if you contact Support in this case.
If you purchased your RN314 between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2016 then you have lifetime Chat Support, just login to your mynetgear profile and create a case for Chat.
If you have a recent backup of your data and you opt not to contact Support, doing a Factory reset might help or just like what StephenB said if you are familiar with Linux and confident on DIY cleaning up there are script and guides on the community.
IMO, contacting support is the safest and best option to do.
