I visited the WebGUI. There were no errors at all in the system other than the volume being offline.
- The SMART status of each disk was checked and seemed OK
- "Storage Manager" showed "Healthy"
- "Storage Pool" showed "Healthy"
Only "volume" showed crashed.
I SSH'ed in and checked. mdadm --D /dev/md2 which is where my array was. It was showing State: Clean, Degraded
I checked dmesg, and found this:

So the data was there, and the array was in read only. My research took me to this SuSe KB: https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000018769
I references the same error as I got BTRFS: Transaction aborted (error -2).
The article states
Good thing is, it's a WARNING, not a fatal error.
WARNINGs like this one, e.g. regarding quota, typically are runtime only things that are fixed by BTRFS after the WARNING is issued. Not a bad problem.
Which was somewhat reassuring.
I ran a
syno_poweroff_task -d
In order to shutdown all the Synology services that may be accessing the volume. This stops the WebUI etc., but keeps SSH on.
I then did a
umount /volume1
In order to stop I/O to the volume (although it was already in RO mode per the output of dmesg above. I then did a btrfsck on the md2 device. Output below
# btrfsck /dev/md2
Syno caseless feature on.

[5644459.827213] BTRFS info (device md127): checking UUID tree
Once that completed, I simply rebooted the system and everything came up as per normal.
I'm currently running a volume consistency check" on it which I believe is a mdadm "resync" that's been running for almost 24 hours now with no issues.
I guess the goal of making this post is to figure out if anyone with a bit more knowhow on btrfs has experienced this, and if they have any ideas what caused this?
