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...

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.

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.
