First check these settings, and change them (at least temporarily) as shown below

  • Frontview > Volumes > Volume Settings > Snapshot > Delete any active snapshots & turn off snapshot schedule

Then remove the disk, reboot the NAS, and then reinsert it.

        Hi,

         

        When restarting the NAS the RAID began to be rebuilt.

         

        One question:

        The NAS is hot swap, should not it synchronize automatically without restarting?
