Readynas RN204 - Stuck at Booting... 42%

RN204, OS 6.9.0

Noticed iSCSI misbehaving (no connection, normal shares operational), logged on web GUI, initiated reboot.

Reboot stuck on "see you soon". Power-button no reaction. Eventually power-cyled.

Now stuck on boot: "Booting... 42%". Blinking blue light, no disc activity. Pressing Power-button toggles led text to "systemd-udev-set".

Tried rebooting a few times, same problem.

HELP!

Booting

    That sounds serious. :O
    
    Is it "oh yeah, known problem, don't use iSCSI, you are f*cked but paid support can help you recover the data" or "Have not seen this particular sequence earlier, maybe support'll know"........?

Did you create a Thick or a Thin LUN?
You are probably experiencing fragmentation. btrfs-transaction is probably having a hard time with the level of fragmentation on your LUN and causing instability.

We use pilgrim to display stuff on the LCD during boot, so if the unit was still loading, then it was pilgrim reading the startup status.
