Lost everything after expansion & volume scan

I'm with Sandshark here - it's poor!
rest assured my data was also lost when I transferred my disks from an NVX into an Ultra.
The 2nd time I could see it coming as I immediately received fsck errors so I kept the device up to trf data around on my backup disks. Until the moment I decided it was safe to allow the reboot to proceed, wham- it trashed the data.
so that's the 3rd time I've had to restore from backups due to buggy NVX firmware & attempting to expand, or shifting disks to another unit.
As I've mentioned several times on various posts - we still have no idea of what 'bugs' have been accepted as a flaw and must be fixed. As Netgear seem to think any usability problem (such as loss of data) would fall under a future request that they will no longer supply to these units.
To EOL so many products that are fully functional is shambolic + then publically promise us 'guys' that we will be treated with fixes, maintenance firmware releases in the future is really taking us for a ride
these devices are not cheap and as stated by Sandshark, they are designed for plug & play but they are impaired features/flaws that no one is ever going to publically admit to!
