Waiting for file hashing and copying threads

I’m running server 2.5.35 on a Virtualbox Ubuntu Server 24.04.3 VM with the actual backup directory on the host machine. I’ve tried both nfs and vboxsf and the initial backups never complete. They get hung up at Waiting for file hashing and copying threads…

I run the server inside a VM and the backupdir on the host for many years, but now that I updated to a fresh setup I’m getting this problem.

I’m posting part of the debug log below:

03/06/26 17:08  	INFO  	Waiting for file hashing and copying threads...

Does anyone have any ideas? Is this just a bug with this version of the server since I never had any problems with my 2.4.x versions?

Thanks in advance.
