I need to do some more testing and I think I have enough information to do that and will come back here when I have something interesting to share. An observation I did make when this was happening was that if $ActionFileEnableSync was disabled (commented out) but the "-" was missing before the actions in the configuration, write volume to the NAS was higher than when we had $ActionFileEnableSync disabled and had the "-" added before the action (write volume was 100% higher if $ActionFileEnableSync was OFF and the "-" option was missing from all log actions than if $ActionFileEnableSync was OFF and "-" was included in all log actions.) This led to my original suspicion that the two options somehow change sync behavior independently. If they shouldn't, then I need to get the debug log and do some analysis. I appreciate the guidance - I'll gather some more details.
