Thank you for the hints. Actually I have tried all of them with mixed success. I managed to mount the system read only and copy all of the data and some of the snaphots. When I tried to get all of the snaphosts the device consistently crashed (and it was not a low memory issue because I had created an extra 4GB swap file on an extrnal hard disk to avoid low memory problems that appeared since the beggining). No matter how many time I btrfsck the system there was no other issue than the qgroup one, which I failed to overcome . Indeed this was the reason why the filesystem was marked as inconsistent and was mounted read only.
Anyway, I could not aford folling around anymore, so I took backup whatever I could and I factory-reset it.
Thank you for your support.

Though it is annoying when you have to do that, sometimes it's the safest and simplest path.
I hope you are fully operational again soon.

Now seeing this same issue after trying to move disks from a RN516 to a RN526X (see my two related posts).
L3 support has been more than USELESS (and not a soul based in the US, apparently). What is a synonym for "more than worthless", Siri?
The data is still there. I can tell.
Advice? The volumes are currently in the RN516. Last L2(?) tech said it was IMPOSSIBLE. Admin console and SMB unavailable, though Radar still sees the volume.
