Your 4GB root volume was full with a 2.4GB Photos folder. I've copied this to your home share for the admin user.

It's important to configure apps etc. to store data on the data volume.

This is not an issue which a firmware update would have resolved, so trying USB Boot Recovery would have been pointless.

Yes, it will reboot, go though about 83% and then i start seeing services names come up on the screen and then it stops altogether and says retry restart.

  Hello wolfgangcc,
  
  How about turning off the NAS and reinsert the disks to their respective bays then power it back on?
