Before btrfs check you must :
mdadm -A --scan mount /dev/md0 /mnt mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev mount -o bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc chroot /mnt/ swapon /dev/md1 (if not installed) apt-get install -y screen screen bash (if you want ssh) service ssh start (for recovery screen) screen -Dr

Thanks It is never too late for info on how to deal with these units.
I took the disks out about 4 days ago and am in the process of recovering the data via alinux box and restoring over the network.
Then oly 3 hours ago another of my 104's ends up in the same situation. 4*4TB WD Red 3.5TB ree in the middle of a video iso being transferred it freezes with the message on the front panel "ward" soemthing or other. Will not repond to off button , network or ssh so pull ot power plug and yes you guessed it front panel comes up with
"btrfs_merge_bio_hook+a0"
These machines are a bit of a disaster zone al least for me. I am sure that Netgear stand by these units and it is the users/customers to blame fro putting to much data on the machine, using them too much, forcing the units to do two things at once etc etc. Oh I forgot having no backup!

Which firmware is the other unit that ran into this running? Is it also 6.4.0?
There is a 6.4.1 now and also 6.4.2 Beta 1.
