Well, the original post was suggesting that you use the procedure here: http://onlyblueatwork.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/net
gear-readynas-access-recovery/ followed by mdgm's suggestions after you clean the OS partition
# cd
# sync
# umount /mnt
# mdadm --stop --scando you have a backup?

Hi Mike,
Looks like you are using OS 6. I did not upgrade to that. So while the causes may be similar my issue looks different. I can not enable any protocols and the share list has disappeared.

andy-b, this thread might be helpful: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Legacy-NETGEAR-and-Partners-Add/Screwed-sshd-Service/td-p/878508
You could also get per-incident support from Netgear.

StephenB,
this looks promising but when I try to install Enable Root SSH Access from http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24551
I get "Update file is not valid for this architecture."
Is this the right one or this a misleading error message?

Andy - I thought you did not have web ui access. That is why I linked in a procedure using tech support mode - which doesn't need you to enable ssh.
If you do have web ui access, then you want the add-on for x86 for 4.2.x firmware. A direct link is here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ReadyNAS/ADDON/4.2(X86)/EnableRootSSH_1.0-x86.bin
