RN104 inaccessible and displaying btrfs_biomerge_bio_hook+a4 message

Model: RN10400

Firmware: 6.5.1

OS: Windows 10

Environment: Small Office Home Network

Installed Storage: 4 x 4TB Hard Drives - 1 volume

Issue: NAS unavailable.  Hangs during bootup and displays btrfs_biomerge_bio_hook+a4 message in the display window with power light flashing.  Does not appear in RAIDar.

 

Performed USB Recovery and same error still occurs during bootup.

 

Looking for next steps...

    This error has got nothing to do with the internal flash so USB Boot Recovery won't help.

     

    Can you try booting into volume read-only mode?

      Tried booting into Volume Read Only mode from the boot menu and the boot process stops at the same point as a normal load, at right around 25 to 27%, and then displays the same btrfs_biomerge_bio_hook+a4 message.
