According to the answer I got from de niro the 5.3.8-T20 firmware solves the problem discussed:
"Yes,this firmware with all patches merged and the solution provided by inventor of EXT FS,if this FW has no effect after upgrading,please backup all data and factory reset unit."
I am now doing a factory reset and time will show if the nas now can be filled completely.
To back up my ReadyNAS NV+ v2 data I bought me a Synology Disk Station DS413j with 4x3TB disks, and moved my ReadyNAS data to this unit.
This Synology unit was a pleasant surprice compared to my ReadyNAS: It comes with a lot of nice software, and did not have a problem to fill the unit past 90%.
Also, when I copy a video file to the unit, it is immediately available to watch on my TV. When I copy one or more video files to the ReadyNAS unit, it takes a long time before it is available to watch on my TV, and also other video files on the same unit are unavailable during this time (from my TV).
