RNDU600 stuck at "Booting... checking root FS"
Running OS6.4.2 on RNDU600 on 6 2TB drives set up as RAID-5. When either hard or soft shutdown, upon powering up the LCD gets to "Booting...checking root FS" and stays there. It's been there for 16 ...
Update:
in private message, mgdm got me to send him a image of my corrupted file system for analysis through tech mode, then was able to reset the os remotely.
System booted without issue, but needs to be reconfigured.
The data volumes and all of the addons were present.
I was able to restore my config from a recent backup and restart the system, getting my configuration back.
Some add-ons worked (plex) while others did not (transmission, sickbeard).
But at least the NAS is back up and I can start to fix things.
Thanks so much mdgm-ntgr.
As I suspected you have seen the same issue still.
Booting the data volume read-only doesn't help when the problem is with the filesystem on the root volume.

Some of your apps would have had some things on the root volume. You could try installing the apps that aren't working over the top of themselves.
