ReadyNAS NV+ Stuck on booting

Let me start by saying that I’ve done a poor job of backing up my system, I'm trying to get the system up so that I can at least get some of my files off of there.

 

After a power supply failure on my NV+ (RND4000) the system did a quota check on bootup, than got stuck on booting up. I've got 4/2 TB drives in there I've taken one out at a time and tried to get it to boot but it's still stuck on booting.

When the NAS is starting to boot it does show up in the radar software until it hits the booting part and then it this disappears from the radar software.

I have tried to skip volume check, with the same results, hung on booting.

I've pulled out the drives and put in a spare drive to test the NAS. It booted and initialized the drive and everything works fine so there's nothing wrong with the NAS.

 

I know about Tech support mode but haven’t work with any Linux operating system for more than a dozen years.

I’ve read through numerous threads on the community page. I'm able to telnet into the spare drive with the commands that I've picked up reading all the different threads.

I'm to the point now that I can see the files that I would like to back up but I can't figure out how I would get them of the drive.

I’ve tested all the drive using the manufacturer's software they all tested good.

 

So I'm looking for some help on how I would do that. There can’t be more that 2 gb of data that I like to retrieve.

    Do you have a suitable USB drive that you can mount?  (perhaps a thumb drive)?

      I stand corrected, I have about a 1TB to backup and I do have a 1 TB ssd drive

        You won't get anything close to SSD speeds, but you can connect the drive to the NAS USB port.

         

        How is it formatted?
