This is what fixed mine with the same problem.


cd /tmp

/sbin/reboot

After it rebooted, it started the sync again and told me that the 2nd
drive was dead. I rebooted again via the GUI and it started syncing from
about 80% and has been fine ever since. It has also taken all of the
updates since then.
