Missing volume after hard reboot
After losing access (no web, ssh, mounts, anything) from my ReadyNAS Pro 6 running 6.7.4 firmware, I decided to hard-reboot it by holding down the power button until it powered off. after booting back up, I was confronted by no data and two volumes (zero bytes each).
A quick search turned up this post:
https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Missing-volume-after-power-failure/td-p/1246361
However the troubleshooting steps in it do not match my experience (my /mnt/data/ is empty)...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've uploaded the logs from today here:

I'm going to consider the data lost, and rebuild/factory reset back down to 4.2 for stability.
I think this is the answer without getting into costly data recovery services, or massive time investment.

It looks like there's some file corruption. Per Kernel.log

jak0lantash might have some suggestions on next steps.

That seems... not good. :(
I bought a QNAP and am trying to get data restored manually for now. Luckily I have online backups of the critical stuff (10+ years of photography shoots and proofs).
Regardless of the outcome, I think I'll roll-back the firmware to the "officially" supported version 4.x. Ever since upgrading to the unsupported 6.x, I've noticed it locks up fairly often - I even setup a cron job to reboot it nightly to try and reduce the impact.
I know any OS dis-likes hard-reset... and it's been restarted this way a few times in the past couple months.
My wife thinks it's because she gave it the middle finger before powering it off...

I'm taking a look at the logs now. But you should remove them for Google Drive. There is your serial number in there.
