Readynas 102 restarts services constantly - unable to access data.
My ReadyNas 102 running firmware 6.7.4, seems to be constantly restarting services. I'm sometimes able to see the shares... sometimes even get a few files..., but then it "disappears" and the network...

You do need mdadm installed. Something like
# apt-get update
# apt-get install mdadm btrfs-tools
# mdadm --assemble --scan
# cat /proc/mdstat
# mount -t btrfs -o ro /dev/md127 /mnt

Upgraded to 6.8.0 by changing to a formatted drive, but when switching back to the disk where I have my data - the problem still remains...
I guess the best solution would to retrieve data through docking the drive in a USB->Sata adapter and get the data - but how?
Some users have had good luck with ReclaiMe. You can see what it can recover before purchase. Netgear of course also offers data recovery ( https://kb.netgear.com/69/ReadyNAS-Data-Recovery-Diagnostics-Scope-of-Service ).
If you get a linux "live" boot disk, you could boot up under linux, install btrfs, and try and mount the drive.

I've got a laptop running linux (Ubuntu), but was unable to mount using "mount -t btrfs -o ro /xxx/yyy /mnt". I'm not that into linux, but shouldn't that be sufficient if btrfs is installed? .. or is there some raid-stuff that needs to be accounted for?
Again - the drive seemed ok. but the ReadyNas 102 just drops its services (except icmp) over and over and over again...

From diagnostics;
Volume swap is 100.00% full
Volume data is 90.10% fullI tried swapping the drives and installing to a fresh drive... - it's stable then, so I updated the firmware once again, and attatched the drive with the data to the USB3 connector, but it was unable to read the file system.
... so I swapped back again and booted - hoping the new firmware would solve the issue, but still.... it starts up, and then "looses all services" until they are started again for som seconds... sometimes even a minute..., and then all services are lost again. and again ... and again.
Is there ANY way to mount the RAID-1 drive onto another computer through USB or SATA - using Linux and get access?
... or stop the rebooting of the services? I tried reinstalling the OS once..., but should I try again after the new firmware is in place?
