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...
OK, to summarize, filesystem expansion followed by an FSCK may result in the loss of data stored on a ReadyNAS NVX running FW 4.2.22. This has been reported or discussed by four users in the past seven days:

While everyone talks about the importance of backups not everyone will have them. If the NVX running the latest RAIDiator is not a safe place to put your data shouldn't there be a warning posted? We have already seen (in my case) that tech support will most probably not be able to help you get your data back, aren't the NVX's sitting out there just time bombs waiting for an expansion and reboot with volume scan checked? Although advised by mdgm not to run FSCK how would the user not reading the forum know this? Not through the online documentation. Not through the RAIDiator release notes . Not through a warning posted on the site.
What is the official recommendation from NTGR?
