Any other thoughts on how best to go about recovering/transferring the files from this old readynas ?
I suggest getting RAID recovery software, and connecting disk 1 of the Duo to a PC (sata or with a USB adapter/dock).
R-linux for Windows is a reasonable tool to start with (as it is free).
You could also try the paid version of R-studio - you should be able to see what (if anything) it can recover before purchase.

Certainly there is some corruption - either of the configuration files or the data volume file system.
An OS reinstall should be safe, but I don't think it is likely to fix your problem.
