Likely you have a full root partition.
The chunk-00xx files were left behind by plex, and should be deleted.

Feels like the only option is to turn in the darn NAS to an expensive doctor. This is pretty much why I bought a NAS if a disk breaks it should be able to recover.

It's described on pages 74-75 of the hardware manual.

Yes. That is a bit safer. There are potentially some other steps needed to get everything working properly, and it's better to prevent any writes from happening to the data volume at the moment.
Try accessing the web admin ui if it boots successfully, and make sure you can see your shares in the shares list.
thank you very VERY VEEERRRYYY much.... I'll give you a virtual beer and a virtual hug. You saved me from the wrath of my teenage daugther that have all her art photos in this NAS I might feel like a hero today instead of a... well.. bad dad and husband... Time to to a backup of everything today...
