"Err: could not properly extract"
Hi, When I logged in the admin frontview interface, I was signaled an available update to 6.7.3 (currently running in 6.7.1). I accepted, download finished and it proposed a reboot. I accept...

For USB Boot Recovery one would need to rename the standard OS6 firmware to RAIDiator-x86-something and put it on the 4.2.x USB Boot Recovery key. USB Boot Recovery with 6.7.3 would not have helped here.
It looks like your volume is mounted read-only. Is your backup up to date?
Edit:
USB Boot Recovery with ReadyNAS OS 6.7.4 which is now available! would have helped thoguh with legacy systems there is the risk that a side effect can be run into when you do USB Boot Recovery that requires a manual fix. If your system has already been fixed I would still suggest updating to 6.7.4 normally using the web admin GUI.

It seems Netgear guy finished his work, NAS rebooted and everything is fine (and in 6.7.3)
However, I don't know yet what he did or what was the problem.
But it's solved :).

True, I was too enthousiastic before. No, my backup is not fully up to date (mainly because I just became aware that the built in amazon drive tool didn't do his job properly) so I was in the process on completing it (yeah I know, doing an upgrade with an incomplete backup, that was a stupid move)
I didn't see that the volume was readl only at the time (to my defense, It was 2am :) ). Was it made that way when you did the repair or is it a unexpected side effect ? It's shown a read/write in frontview.
Also it seems a balance started, but stuck at 0%.
Should I order a restart from frontview ? Or just complete my backup while I can ?

I wasn't clear but while waiting for the next recommended step, I'm of course completing my backup. Should be done within a 5-6 hours.

It looks like the balance didn't work. I tried a balance.
You could try copying your data off the system.
