Details on how to recover if an FSCK fails on a ReadyNAS system. Originally from the ReadyNAS forums, since removed.

Rather than RAM (default) or the root partition (/var/ -- far too small!), I used a high-capacity USB drive. Make sure this USB drive has enough free space before starting. You need at least X GB of space if your volume is 8TB like mine was. So, I'm guessing that this is why the fsck fails in the first place - at least, this is what my logs indicated when it said "Error storing directory block information (inode=90885846, block=0, num=6983948): Memory allocation failed"

  1. Get root access to your NAS. I had already enabled root ssh before things went haywire because after the volume failed, FrontView would not load.
  2. Attach a high-capacity storage device to the NAS via USB. Wait while the ReadyNAS loads the drive.

  3. Download and compile the latest e2fsckprogs from the internet:

    wget
cd
./configure
make

Short JS snippet for changing all descriptions on a Flickr mass edit page.
function changeDescriptions(text) {
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('together_description');
for (var j = 0; j < 2; j++) {
// Do this twice because Flickr needs it (probably 2 x keyup events)
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
var event = new Event('keyup');
elements[i].dispatchEvent(event);
elements[i].value = text;
}
}
