All files have "disappeared"
At this point when I log in to my ReadyNAS over the web interface all sahres have disappeared, even the usual default ones. There is only a home folder with an empty folder for the original admin and...

So the issue is that the readynas share config files have become corrupted.
One thing you could try is
- rename one of the public share folders (subvolume)
- create a new share with the original name
- delete the new subvolume with btrfs subvolume delete -c \data\sharename
- rename the original public share folder to the original name.

The only thing that I did not see before in the logs is " System: ReadyNASOS background service started."
SSH: yes, I work on command line regularly. But I would like to notice: I can mount the vanished NFS shares, I can add and remove files from there, etc... so they are not gone, it is just the web interface that doesn't show any of them.

I thought you said it was also windows file explorer???
Can you clarify?

The files and the sahers are visible on smb and nfs, I can mount them to an external device.
Windows, linux works well with them.
The only problem is that on the web interface the shares are gone. Even the default ones like Pictures, Documents, Music, Videos are gone from the web interface.
There is only the "Home Folders" in the NAS root when looked at it from the web interface.

I have renamed, made a new file with the same name, and then when trying to remove for example the /data/load/ folder I got:
ERROR: cannot delete '/data/load': Operation not permitted
So I just opened everything up with file explorer and copied the files from the old folders to the new one.
I think it would have been better to do it over nfs, to keep attributes, but well, I can change that later.
