Do you know when your unit was last factory defaulted?
There was a file system block size change when firmware hit 4.x.x. You should be on an early version of this but it's important to know if the unit has been factory defaulted on 4.x.x.
The firmware that you need is 4.1.13:

There haven't been any major changes in the last 2 years as the nv+ is an old readynas unit and the firmware updates really only involve bug fixes.

You should have a backup of the data - re-ripping a lot of music if you lose data would be very time consuming.
Ideally sort out a backup before you upgrade firmware.
