I did my first initial sync, 16 drives, 20ish hours.

Unfortunately one of the drives ran out of space when writing the second content file (I wasn't aware this happened, it had a .tmp at the end)

I created more space and did a sync again, however its starting from the start.

Is this correct?

yes, since the first run didn´t finish successfully. The nex run should be then only differential.

Generally speaking unless you are using autosave the progress of a sync will be lost if interrupted unexpectedely.

autosave SIZE_IN_GIGABYTES
Automatically save the state when syncing or scrubbing after the specified amount of GB processed. This option is useful to avoid to restart from scratch long "sync" commands interrupted by a machine crash, or any other event that may interrupt SnapRAID.
