Readynasd not starting after creating /.force_snapshots_upgrade
Hello! On my ReadyNAS I face currently the following issue, that the readynasd service is not starting. Therefore my access to the admin page is not available. Background: within upgrading to curr...
Hi,
will consider reinstalling when I have physical acces to the ReadyNAS. Currently I am trying to fix it from about 1500 km away :)
Here are the requested outputs:

As stated before, I already manually removed the btrfs subvolumes. Can this cause issues with the timemachine configuration?
I tried now to fiddle around with the timemachine.conf (haven't found this file before) and replaced it with an empty file with same access rights and the webinterface is now accessible again. For now it is fine to me, but reinstalling the device is still something to consider.
It sounds like you are able to access it with ssh. Have you tried simply deleting .force_snapshots_upgrade?
You might also try an OS reinstall.
Hi StephenB,
I deleted the /.force_snapshots_upgrade already, but it'll still run into the issue described above.
Will it be safe for the stored Data to reinstall the OS?

It should be (it's designed to be non-destructive). Though it is always a good idea to have a backup.
In addition to partially reinstalling the OS, it will
- reset the admin password to password
- reset the network configuration to use DHCP with no bonding
- turn off volume quota
The procedure is documented on pages 28-29 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
Can you post your $timemachine_quota table?
sqlite3 --header --column /var/readynasd/db.sq3 'select * from "$timemachine_quota"'
and your timemachine config:
cat /etc/netatalk/timemachine.conf
Starting readynasd with verbose debug logging might also help identifying cause:
readynasd -v 5 -l -
(start readynasd with Debug log-level and output log to stdout)
