Balance failed to start for volume data
This morning, my email notification reported the following error: "Volume: Balance failed to start for volume data." I searched for this message on the community forum, and the documentation,...
The info in volume.log is particularly useful if you are interested in analyzing the running time of the various maintenance functions.
The balance completion will also show up in the log page in web ui. If you select the "volume" category you'll get a much shorter list, and it will include both the start and completion of the balance.
At the bottom of volume.log you can see the maintenance history, which looks similar to the following:
=== maintenance history ===
device operation start_time end_time result details
---------- ---------- ------------------- ------------------- ---------- ----------
data balance 2016-05-26 09:50:10 2016-05-26 09:51:03 completed
data defrag 2016-07-01 17:02:50 2016-07-01 17:04:28 completed

You can download the logfiles as a zip container using the admin website.

Thank you both for the support, here. And, my solution on this was that 36 hours and 15 minutes later, there it was, balance completed message in the log.
Much appreciated - I think my ReadyNAS health is back to perfect.
I trust this will be helpful to the next person with this same issue and error message.
cheers,
