Hello!
I've fixed 6.3.5 problem. with dataloss.

No, I have no backup.
I must have two RND similar devices for crossbackups always and for any reason?
it's a little funny.

No data should be stored on just the one device, especially on a device that is running an OS that is not supported to be run on it.
Things can go wrong such as too many disk failures, fire, flood, theft etc. If you store data on just the one device (whether that be a USB disk, any brand NAS, a server, you name it) you need to be prepared to lose it.
You could see if you can backup your data to a USB disk using the btrfs restore command.- WingDogSep 16, 2015Guide

here I can see one more software bug.
About support - rnd is regular x86 PC so it have full Debian support, isn't it?
But! some "implementations" of brtfs made by NTGR are not supported - that is true.
even native brtfs is bleeding edge without any "implementations".

Anyway, as I understand my root fs is RO
root@NAS:~# mount tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime,size=10240k,mode=755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noatime,nodiratime,mode=600) /dev/md0 on / type btrfs (ro,noatime,nodiratime,nospace_cache)
maybe after fixing this I'll get all my data.
