Probably no worse than every other EX4200 out there :-)  They're a bit
sensitive and emotional.

Looks like the file system is corrupted. Re-installing JUNOS should
fix it but you've tried that. In some cases when this has happened to
us, we've needed to attempt the re-install a couple of times. If you
haven't already, try re-installing from the loader> prompt again.

If/when you get it back online, open a JTAC case and ask for the
'automatic file system mirroring and recovery script'.

Cheers,
