Yes, I had 25GB free and I came to realise that it wasn't enough after the balance wasn't getting anywhere after 20h. My mistake was to do a restart before freeing up more space. I assumed it would halt or pause the balance, not pause the shutdown and make the NAS inaccessible. :(
I guess I'm left with the dilemma of either cutting the power and risking data loss or waiting an unknown time for the balance to finish.
Is there any way to estimate the time it requires? Even if it had to rewrite every single byte on the drives, one would think it would only take a couple of days. Not several weeks as the initial "0% done" after 20h indicated.
Right now it's about 70h since the balance started.
