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...
Well, I was lucky in that the bulk of my data was 'recovered' to /c/lost+found and I was able to copy it off and then back to the unit without too much hassle. As johnnyb mentioned there is no guarantee the data is not corrupted however mine has been validating 'good' against known good copies (so far).
If you wanted to try this the way I did it you would need the enable root SSH add-on -> http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/EnableRootSSH_1.0-x86.bin and your choice of file access utilities (I prefer WinSCP -> http://winscp.net/eng/index.php). The usual boilerplate applies (Netgear may deny support, you run the rick of doing something the NAS won't like etc).
Netgear support emailed me today and asked if I had thought about purchasing the $200 service plan. :)
Still waiting for a Jedi to comment - this is a rather serious issue and full disclosure early on would greatly improve community relations.
