Issues with NV+
I have been using my NV+ for several years without issue, but the other day when trying to access it, I lost all access to my shares and it was reporting 0MB/0MB in frontview. On the NAS display, it...
It does sound like a filling OS partition.
A Netgear Mod could offer courtesy help; other options include (paid) per-incident support from Netgear, and booting the system into tech support mode yourself, and useing telnet to access the system. That last option requires that you mount the OS partition manually.
Another approach is to connect the disks to a PC, and back up the remaining data. Then do a factory reset/rebuild the NAS. R-Linux for windows is one tool that I've heard will work. Or use a linux "live cd" and this procedure: http://home.bott.ca/webserver/?p=306

Is it umount /dev/hdc1 or umount /sysroot
Not sure if you need the umount, but it would be umount /sysroot
shutdown -h -now should do a clean shutdown, then you can power up as usual.
So that fixed Frontview after doing another firmware reinstall, but I still can't access my shares. I'm getting a username/pw prompt. Looks like it wants to use my local pc as the domain.
On my Mac, i used to just connect as guest, but that isn't working... I'd imagine there is something I'm missing something in the setup, just not sure what.
I removed the password from each of my shares and I was able to connect. Not sure what the username was, but it must have been cached on my systems or something. Oh well, I think everything is back to normal now. Thanks so much for your help... Time to get a bigger external drive so I can back up my "unimportant" data just in case.

Perhaps you are using "share" security? That was deprecated a while ago, now the recommended mode is "user" security. There is some advice on migrating here: http://readynas.sphardy.com/2010/09/how-to-migrate-to-user-security-mode_4917.html
Though if you just have it fully open it shouldn't matter.
