If the files on the NV+ are small enough, then I suggest FAT32.

StephenB thanks you for your help.
I'm getting the following message when trying to shutdown -r now:

Have you tried formatting it in a PC, and then just mounting it from ssh?

I'm sorry, I know these are very basic questions but it's been over 17 years since I worked with Linux, do I use SSH like Telnet?
Is there a process that I need to start on the ReadyNAS, as I've tried using SSH and it doesn't connect.
Also tonight when I started support mode the vgscan command not found but it worked last night
Best regards

There is an add-on you need to install - the first one here:

Yes, but log in as root, and use the NAS admin password.
