NV+ V2 stuck at booting
Hello I have been had my NV+ V2 for a few years now without any issue. It has the latest and last firmware (5.3.11 i think) and is populated with 2x WD 4Tb Red and 2x WD 3Tb Red internally and a...
Ok so to follow up and hopefully finish this off...
I was able to hot swap the first drive and that kicked off the resync process which took about 20 hours to complete. Now everything is looking normal via frontview and the LCD screen etc. There is still the smartctl.org in the logs but the drives are reporting fine and everything looks normal.
So to just recap what happened and fixed it...
Upon a reboot the unit hung at "Booting..." on the LCD screen and subsequent reboots would not change that
What finally worked was removing a disk from the unit, powering it on, getting stuck at the same booting message and powering it off.Then reinserted the disk and the unit would boot properly after that but with an unprotected volume
Hot swapping the drive started the resync process and now things appear normal.
Hopefully things stay this way :)
Thanks to all who posted and helped me out.

Welcome to the community!
Please try Skip Volume check from the boot menu and see if that will boot the NAS to normal.
