Readynas Ultra 2 - Raid is Dead
I have a Readynas Ultra 2 that's just over three years old. It's got two 3TB WD Red drives in it that are less than 6 months old (recently upgraded the drives). When I couldn't access the shares ...

Likely this is your problem: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Backing-up-to-your-ReadyNAS/Crashplan-JRE-update-needed/m-p/985781#M10762
Do you still have ssh access to the NAS?

Looks like no...
When I try to connect to SSH, I just get a Connection Refused message from Putty. I'd previously changed the SSH port, and I've tried connecting on the changed port or on port 22, just in case defaults kicked back in.
That said, I hadn't enabled ssh access via an add on, but by editing the sshd_config files. Is that still relevant given that it can't even mount the drives?
I can get access to Frontview. I tried adding this plugin: http://www.readynas.com/?p=4203, but I get a message saying that the file isn't appropriate for my architecture, even though I grabbed the x86 version.
I'm currently running firmware 4.2.26. Would updating to the latest perhaps kick things into a reset mode to be able to get SSH access back?
Thanks!

You can't update the firmware when the OS partition is full.
The very next thing done needs to be freeing up space on the OS partition. Trying to fix the problem other ways will only succeed in adding to the problems.
