I don't have a link, but the information in this (fairly long) thread might help. https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-in-Business/OS6-Data-Recovery-How-to-Mount-BTRFS-Volumes/td-p/895558

I doubt that will help, and it might hurt.

Before trying that, perhaps remove all the disks (NAS powered down, and labeling them by slot) and install a scratch disk. Either unformat/zero the scratch disk, or boot up using the factory default option.

If that does a clean install, then reloading from USB won't help.

This originally ran 4.2.x firmware, so you can't get official Netgear support.

You could try mounting the array in an x86 linux system that supports btrfs. Or hope that someone from Netgear offers to troubleshoot it remotely.

Unfortunately I don't think there are many other options.

    This is a legacy 32-bit x86 ReadyNAS.
    
    It can only run RAIDiator-x86 4.2.x.
    
    I don't see any indication that there was an attempt to put OS6 (a 64-bit OS) on this system unless I'm missing something?
    
    It could be that you have a bad disk.
    
    Have you tried powering down, removing your disks (label order), connecting them up to your PC and testing them using vendor tools (e.g. test SeaGate disks using SeaTools and WD disks using WD Data LifeGuard Diagnostics)?
