Now that I could access my NAS again (after fixing /etc/defaults/services), I was about to upgrade to 6.9.4 the next day. But before, I started a scrub since it has been a long time.

Ouch.
You should be able to boot up in tech support mode and fix that. You use telnet to access the NAS, and then need to manually mount the OS partition (for instance to /mnt ). But I think some files in the OS partition might be owned by admin, not root.
Maybe try an OS reinstall first?
I did not mention it in the question, but I think I did an apt-get update/upgrade since I was looking for a more recent lxterminal but I believe I did not press Y when it asked to actually perform it. Not that an update should reset all ownerships.
How do I boot up in tech support mode or reinstall the OS? Is there a link somewhere?
