Aall shares have disappered from the web UI

That should increase the unallocated space.
FWIW, running out of unallocated space could have triggered your problem.

This seems similar to this (closed) thread:
Luckily, I had taken a configuration backup a week or so previously - and restoring that (and then rebooting) seemed to restore things.
Any log files I can check for a possible cause of the unexpected restart, or indeed confirm that my data is still intact?
What model NAS do you have, and what firmware is it running?

Do you have a backup of the files?
I'd start by looking in
- dmesg.log
- status.log
- readynasd.log
and then look in
- system.log
- kernel.log
- systemd-journal.log
Maybe also check the unallocated space in the OS partition using ssh. btrfs file usage //

All those log files have been overwritten since the event, except STATUS.LOG which just confirms that ReadyNASOS service was restarted at 22:38:12 on 2024/12/31.
Yes, I have a full backup on another ReadyNAS, so if files have become corrupted I could potentially factory reset and restore the whole system from backup (although I'd rather not go through that!)
df -h is showing /dev/md0 partition is 36% (of 4G) used but
btrfs file usage // shows only 330 MB unallocated (of 4GB).
I've also (now) downloaded and run the "codycook" share_lun_ui_fix.sh script which (as my shares had already re-appeared following my restore of the configuration file and subsequent reboot) does not appear to have done any harm (and hopefully has tweaked anything not fixed by my initial approach)
