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"........?

Good news!
I switched off NAS. Took out the drives and went to bed. And the good news part:
This morning I booted the NAS without drives.
Then I switched off the NAS.
Put in the (3) drives in again (in random order).
Switched on the NAS and it magically works again!
Log: Disk: Disk in channel 1 (Internal) changed state from ONLINE to RESYNC.

Closer to the latter. Failure to boot with possibility of data loss, complicated by the fact that iSCSI data is opaque to the NAS. I was assuming that you had no backup (though that was a guess).
Though it looks like you've also installed stuff with ssh (pilgrim anyway), which could complicate things further.
Any idea what mount is mounting?

I only installed mc (midnight commander).
pilgrim appears to be what controls the front panel LCD of the NAS.
Usage: pilgrim [-c] [-l path] [ -p path] [-s hex] [-t "term cmd"] [-u file]
-c Clear LCD on termination
-l Message list file path(/var/readynasd/pilgrim.list)
-p Socket path (\0/org/freedesktop/plymouthd)
-s Solid box character code in hex (ff)
-t Termnation cmd (none)
-u Termnation unit ("readynasd.service")Still at 98%.
