RNDP600U
I am chasing down some issues with two of three RNDP600U units I upgraded to 6.10.10 from 4.x that were all working fine at 6.x.95 and then suddenly became bricks when they upgrade 6.10.10 and reboot...
If you upgraded to OS6 prior to 6.10.x, then you likely missed the warning to upgrade memory to at least 2GB. As of 6.10.x, many with the stock 1GB have had issues. All Intel based native OS6 units ship with at least 2GB.
As for backing up the vpd, see Backup-and-restore-of-VPD-file-for-legacy-ReadyNAS-running-OS6.
I've seen that post on how to backup the VPD and it did not gain me access to the VPD file for backing up on a 316 unit or RNDP600U unit.
All of my units have 2 or 4gb of ram, so that's not my issue and they had the 2 or more gigs prior to the upgrade.
I think this VPD issue occurs on units that reuse the existing pre OS6 disks. This is the only thing different about the one unit that worked successfully. It unit received 4 brand new 12tb drives.The two that failed were using the existing 3 or 4tb drives, used with OS 4, pre-upgrade. I upgraded them using one new 4tb drive and after the upgrade, put the sic discs back in and let it reformat and reinstall either factory OS6. Both were stable until the upgrade to 6.10.10. A single reboot after that bricks them.
Thanks, but this doesn't get me any closer to a solution.

It won't work on an RN316, since that is not a legacy NAS.
But it should work on tne RNDP600U. Where did you get stuck when you went through the steps?
Directions state to mount the next partition after your last disk.
My unit has 4 disks. I have tried every combination I could come up with to mount the fifth partition or disk.
All I get is a an error:
mount: special device /dev/sde does not exist
The follow is a list of the /dev
