NV+ drive replacement problem?

Hi,

I've got an NV+ (4.1.12, 16K blocksize) and have been replacing the existing 1TB drives with 2TB (WD Red). Starting last week I began replacing the drives one at a time and the first three drives each took about 5hrs init and 4hrs resyc. The NV+ was running fine with 3 of the 4 drives replaced. Then on Friday I replaced the 4th drive and I got emails saying it completed init and started resync at about 2pm. When I checked the NV+ late on Friday the one drive light was still blinking and I couldn't access the NV+ (web, SSH, file share).

Its now about 44hrs later and still the one drive light is blinking and while I can successfully ping the NV+ (ports 22,80,111,139,443,445 show as open) its not responding otherwise. The units frontpanel is lit but not saying anything other than the old information of its IP address and 0.3/2.7T Free.

Is it in the expansion process possibly which I've read on previous threads could be over 2 days or is it hung up?

Suggestions appreciated. Thanks David
