Syncronizing keeps on forever.
Volume data is syncing. 32,4% complete. Stays "stuck" at this percentage for the second day. RN 212 , two disks, health excellent, firmware 6.10.3 Please advise JPHey

On the log zip file I find a message stating that "Volume less than 10% of capacity" with instructions to add or reduce. I have now deleted old files not important and now 45% of the volume is free.
If the data volume gets too full, the system will automatically start deleting snapshots. However, that shouldn't trigger a resync, so there is mystery here.

It should. Though you should probably run balance from the volume settings wheel. That will reduce performance while it are running, but I think it would be a good idea to run it. The longer it takes, the more it is needed. You might want to schedule the maintenance functions to run periodically (I run each every three months on a staggered schedule).
Do you know why it is resyncing? Is this a new install?
What disk models are you using?
Have you downloaded the log zip file and looked for errors?
Thanks for responding swiftly.
No, i do NOT know why it is resyncing....
My two discs are both WDC . WD2 OEFRX (SATA 2TB), both healthy and active, it seems.
I find no error in the log, except "alert message failed to send".
The NAS works very very slow indeed, takes forever to log in adm., and seems more or less stuck-
I enclose the system logs
Thanks,

Just guessing, but it might have been a power interruption or unclean shutdown, since there is no shutdown message at 12 pm, just the startup.
FWIW, you'll find a lot more information if you download the log zip file.
You may be on the right track.
The log file informs that the sending of system alerts have failed. (error code 500801001). The email alert contact set up had ceased to work and is now replaced with a gmail account, now tested.

Does this make sense to you?
