Recently got this error on my NAS when looking at the admin page. Was wondering if their was any solution to this issue any help would be appreciated.
Hello readlouis ,
And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂
As StephenB mentioned it might be a BTRFS file system error probably. We would require logs to investigate further. Are you falling under warranty? Please provide your Serial Number to check for support eligibility.
Have a lovely day,

I have used the RAIDar app to look at the diagnostic information this is what i got.
Do you have a backup of the data on the NAS?
If not, do you have experience with the linux command line (ssh)?
I have a backup of the data and have used SSH a little bit in the past.

Good to know.
The simplest solution is to do a factory reset, reconfigure the NAS, and restore the files from your backup.
The rationale is that the full root partition often results in corrupted NAS configuration files, so you have potentially more than one problem to try to manually fix.
Starting over gives you a completely clean system, so no possibililty that something missed in a manual repair will cause more trouble later on.
