NVX, share content missing after vol chk, case 20484647
Just filed the issue with NTGR and figured I'd best start documenting now. System was running and data was accessible however there appeared to be a permissions error on a share I could not correct...
In my case I would note there have been several volume expansions. I believe I started with two 1.5 TB drives, added two 2 TB drives and then replaced all four with 3 TB drives.
Given what you have seen in your testing - is an NVX FS safe if no volume expansions have been performed? Would it be safe after a factory default with four identical drives in place? What i'm trying to get at - is it the volume expansion that corrupts the file system such that the next run of FSCK causes the loss of data or will FSCK cause this regardless of whether or not the filesystem had been expanded? If it's the former it almost sounds like an X-RAID2 issue as I would assume vanilla EXT4 + FSCK should not equal loss of data in an otherwise good environment.
Obviously NTGR would do well to weigh in on this issue.
