Another update:
After the events in the prior update, I reinserted the v4.2.15 recovery USB drive and restarted. The ReadyNAS faithfully rebooted using the flash drive, back to v4.2.15, and then via the OLED display noted that it was updating its "FS" to new firmware. It then appeared to do a quick restart to the new firmware, and came up running v4.2.22. This looked good.
I then removed the recovery flash drive, checked RAIDiator, and everything looked fine and dandy at v4.2.22. So I did a shutdown/reboot. Boom, back to "ERR: Could not find internal fla"
At this point it's pretty clear something's wrong with the "internal fla", which of course must be flash storage. How can I manipulate this storage space, reformat it, get v4.2.22 on it, etc.?
Thanks again,
