5) Once the 'File System Check' has completed. Please reboot the NVR.

 

***Please Note***

Performing a file system check will pause the recording of live video for the duration of the system check. The file system check will vary in its duration based on multiple factors, the main factor being the capacity of the hard disk drive being checked. A 4TB hard disk drive may take in excess of 1hr to complete the check. If you have multiple drives that require a file system check we recommend scanning the hard disk drives independently although multiple drives can be selected and scanned in automatic succession.

You may also experience the file system check progress bar halt some between 5 - 20%, this is normal, the progress bar may not move for a period of time, but will then jump to 70 - 90% and finish shortly after.

Once the process has been started it should not be interrupted if avoidable.
