I have my logs but they will not attach. If someone could guide me with this as well i would gladly upload
If someone could please help me i would greatly appricate it.
You don't want to post the logs publicly. Instead, upload the zip into cloud storage (google drive, dropbox, etc), and then send a private message to one of the mods ( @JohnCM_S or @Marc_V ) and ask them to analyze them. Send a PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page.
You can also look yourself at disk health and the fullness of the OS partition. Both are in volume.log (scroll down to the "=== df -h ===" section for the OS partition fullness. It's /dev/md0 ). You can look for other errors in system.log and kernel.log.
I am fearing a failure coming soon and wonder what i should do, Its about 20ish TB of data, have aprox 10 backed up over a few External HDs
I am assuming that you can still access the data with file explorer (or finder if you have a mac). If that's not correct, please post back.
Don't put any more data onto the NAS.
The first step is to back up the rest of the data while you still can. So get enough USB drives to do that (perhaps one or two 10 TB EasyStores). You want these right away, so maybe look at local retailers (so there is no shipping delay). Since the NAS isn't responding to the Web interface, you'll need to connect the drives to a PC, and back up the NAS over the network. FreeFileSync might a good tool for this. BTW, connect the PC to the network with wired ethernet, as that will be more robust, and will be faster.
You can also arrange for paid support (my.netgear.com). Don't purchase the gearhead stuff - that's the wrong package for the NAS. Instead try to get per-incident support (or a service contract for the NAS). Netgear will need you to boot into tech support mode, which might be problematic (since your LCD panel isn't responsive, and if you reboot the NAS the data volume might not mount at all). So back up everything you can first.
As I said, don't post the log zip publicly. Send a private message to the mods. I redacted your link.

After setting fan speed to 5000 RPM for 10 minutes, we still couldn't bring all the eth nics back.
Several errors like this. If your NAS is under warranty (3 years), then I would ask for an RMA via my.netgear.com. If it's not, then perhaps ask the mods ( @JohnCM_S and @Marc_V ) if there is any other remediation.
Your OS partition is pretty full. Normally it should be around 25%, not around 80. There are several causes for this - one is that plex can sometimes leave transcoded files in the root partition.
Paid support (my.netgear.com) should be able to help on this.
If you have ssh enabled and know how to use it, you could also resolve it on your own.
You could also do a factory default, reconfigure the NAS and reload files from backup.
Re: RN214 Stuck in Login loop Readnas Admin page - PLEASE HELP
I am currently backing up my data,
Quick question.
Is there a faster way than SMB in my current situation?
Is there anyway i could make a USB bridge and use SMB or something to back up the data?
I do have SSH enabled. What file would i be looking for to remove to give the OS partion more space. I do believe this is all steming from the transcoding thing you mentioned as i had an influx of transcodes on my machine in the last 2 weeks due to user error.

You could connect a USB 3.0 disk to the NAS, and manually mount. it with ssh Then copy off the data. It'd be best to format that disk as NTFS. Not sure it would be any faster though.
