ReadyNAS NV+ stall during File System check at 19%
My ReadyNAS NV+ is stalling during the File System check at 19%. It is visible in RAIDar, and all four disks register as healthy, until the 19% point is reached, at which point RAIDar cannot find t...
The message has moved on to 'resyncing disk 2', but has been stuck at that for several days. I've decided to move on and replace the disks. My brother might have a go at the Linux recovery route, but at the moment, I'm going to start afresh with new disks to create a blank system, and install the out of date backup, and then re-build. My question now is, is there a procedure for adding the new blank disks that will preserve the existing NAS settings?

Unfortunately the settings are stored on the disks, so replacing them with blank ones will require that you set up the NAS again.
As long as you can log in, you can save the configuration and restore it once the new volume is created. With an NV+, I doubt you're still running apps on it. But if you are, restore those before restoring the configuration.
Unfortunately I am not able to log in as it never gets past the disk check. However, I have accepted that I will just need to treat it as a new install with fresh disks. I will keep the existing disks for possible recovery as a separate exercise.
Is setting it up with four new disks as straightforward as putting in the new disks and powering up, and it will set itself up with the default settings? Will the name and password have changed?
My initial area of doubt is that it was set up as an iTunes server. My recollection is that this was just a tickbox setting, so I am hoping that is easy to reinstate.
Yes, it's basically that easy. There is a time-out (10 min, I think), after which it will automatically move forward with XRAID volume creation. You can use RAIDar to skip that wait and/or switch to FlexRAID. Remember that anything you've done to get around the TLS 1.0 issue will no longer be present, so you'll need to use a browser that still supports it. The default admin password will be netgear1. Also remember that the max drive size for an NV+ V1 is 2TB.
Just curious, but what is the basis of this limit? Is it the hardware? I've run drives as large as 18TB without an issue in my various units running os4.
