Remove inactive volumes to use the disk. Disk 1,2,3.
I have exactly the same error message (FW: 6.6.1) after I had a "btrfs search forward +2d4" error message on the display. The NAS was not accessible, I had to remove the power and reboot the device. ...

Thanks for the logs. Sounds like you should contact support. However there would be some costs involved in looking into this.

I finally resolve the issue by using ssh to login to my readynas. As superuser I was able to mount the btrfs volume (md127) using the command
mount -o recovery /dev/md127 /data
This allowed me to backup the data on external drives. Nevertheless, I have to recreate the volume for further use. When searching the forum it appears that this error happens quite often indicating that btrfs is quite unreliable. Even though I could not figure out why the volume got corrupted.
Are there more reliable options?

Sei, we have a large installed base and the small number who have issues are the ones who tend to post on the community.
As you've seen BTRFS has some useful options for attempting data recovery. Sometimes it's not that simple. EXT4 which we used in the past has it's own issues. No filesystem is perfect.Often we find problems can be blamed on the filesystem when the cause is to do with something completely different.
