What do you have in your bitcoin.conf file or command line parameters?
Because AFAIK, Bitcoin Core wont work if you set its datadir to a NAS due to leveldb incompatibility.

I don't know how you managed to make it work before but try to set only the "blocksdir" to your NAS and leave the "datadir" to your local disk.

There surely must be some other detail(s) some of you could find for me to not expect the bitcoin core software to work and give up on the question I asked?

Feels like you already expecting an answer and just want to make sure...

The whole idea of leaving the datadir on the NAS was to not need to re-download the entire blockchain WHEN something like this happened. I'm pretty disappointed with the Bitcoin Core program. For lack of alternatives, I will probably have to delete the blocks and start all over. Given my experience, I probably won't use the NAS next time and eventually, I will try to navigate away from needing Bitcoin Core because it creates problems for me.
