PRO6 "Remove inactive volumes" after interrupted balance

I can't be 100% sure, but I think my last reply to this thread may have been deleted.  Prior to this message I have 3 posts, 2 of which are replies.  Those two probably are the missing message in question and my edit of that message for grammar and style.  In this message I thanked both Stephen and John for their help and suggested other ways to help that could potentially assist users who either can't afford or are not eligible for support.

I also mentioned a few btrfs and fsck commands as potential avenues for the user to self-repair, and suggested that with such a high amount of experience and wisdom regarding Linux and btrfs that it would be even more useful to nudge or guide people in a relatively safe direction to attempt to get the original data online again rather than backup and restore for a few days (even at GB speeds).  I opined that many disclaimers could be given to absolve the adviser, forum and company from any ill effects that may arise from the use or misuse of the potentially proffered advice.

I mean no disrespect or insult with either this description of my mystery post or that post itself.  The help I was given was on a purely volunteer and altruistic level to begin with and I am appreciative.  The advice to mount in read-only is solid, and if luck is with you and time is no issue, that would allow most people in similar situations to recover their data.  However, the hobbyist in me can only think, "This doesn't _fix_ the problem that happened."  Though specifics would be unique to each volume, there is a methodical flowchart that one could follow depending on the error messages and output from commands given.

There have been participants in threads in the past who did go above and beyond to share the benefit of their breadth of knowledge to the folks in need.  Maybe I'm naive, but I don't see a problem with even a company rep suggesting a particular mount, fsck or btrfs command with the imperative to make sure that data is backed up first and the usual disclaimers regarding said commands and data loss and liability, etc.

And I also understand that this is in "Using your ReadyNAS," not "Data Recovery 101 for the Home Hacker," but I would argue that even with good use practices, sometimes it is useful, necessary, and edifying to go under the hood to tinker with the guts of the OS and filesystem, and that knowledge guided by wisdom will never be a bad thing.

So I'll mark the answer given as a solution, but not the solution I was hoping for, and it is a safe solution that uses days of time when an hour or two with well-crafted commands could potentially repair the damaged filesystem.

In any case, my upgraded Pro 6 has been my favorite NAS to use, and I look forward to restoring my data to continue using it.  Thanks again to all the forum writers and company reps for doing what they can.
