NV+ V2 stalling when 80%+ full (20047616)
i've recently purchased one of the Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ V2 units and have become very unhappy with it. it started out ok and could copy files to it at good rate, now that the unit is over 80% full i'v...
So your assertion is that any disk replacement on any NV+ V2 will fail in this way? How many units have you tried this on??? Perhaps some other v2 owners who have tried replacing disks can comment.

If the not-clearly-identified problem is really that ext4 doesn't work well when the disk volume gets full, I agree that is likely systemic. Though I don't think that would be a kernel issue, just a limitation of ext4.
Anyway, I'd still delete the disk partitions on the new drive and re-insert it. I'd think you should also run vendor tools on it while it was in the PC.
I would also invest in drives for backup - speaking from personal experience, a RAID array is not enough to protect against data loss.
