Updated the firmware to 6.7.1 Beta 2 and was able to mount the data volume with the option to disable volume quotas fine.
Rebooted it to normal mode and it came up fine.
Oh and for good measure I updated the BIOS to the latest.

"It is very frustrating to feel that your data is sitting there intact, if only you could get the system to boot."
That's the point.
I have 6x3 To raw for 10 To left in RAID six. I don't care to loose on each disk 4GB x 3 snapshot. I loose 8 To for safety, I can loose 96 Go more. Like for Big data, in case of corruption you compare the replication on each disk and choose the one that has two identical hash.
Perhaps an esaier path is to have a "create a boot disk " function : when everithings OK, you plug a USB Key, and it's write a bootable copy of the OS.
