NVX expansion considered harmful

Reading through your original steps regarding expansion and volume checking, I'd say my issue is the same or very similar -- however, I'm running 4.2.21 on my NVX due to the failure of DLNA on 4.2.22. I attempted a volume expansion (that seemingly succeeded) but after being told by an online FS check that there were errors, attempting to restart and do an offline check resulted in failure. Dmesg had this to say:
...
EXT4-fs (dm-0): ext4_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 49024 not in group (block 0)!
EXT4-fs (dm-0): group descriptors corrupted!
...
after log files spewing out issues regarding inodes and the like found during the offline fsck.
So, it seems that even 4.2.21 is affected as well. Some official comment from Netgear would be a extremely well received.
EDIT: Oops, I'm actually running 4.2.21. So, maybe going back to 4.2.20 or 4.2.19 might fix it, but unless I know for sure, I don't want to risk it.
