Photo Library Repairing stuck at 99%.... Help

Whenever I open the photo app on my MBP, it says the database has some problems and needs to be repaired, and when I press the repair button, it runs and it stuck at 99% for over 24 hours. I force quitted and reopen the app, it still the same and it also stuck at 99% in the repair phase.

My photo database has been put on a NAS mapped to the MBP as a drive. I am using a 2012 MBP w/ Retina Display running on High Sierra 10.13.3. Please help!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 10.3.3

I have the same problem except my HDD is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). It's been stuck on 99% for a good while and the total process has taken about 26 hours at this point, with no end in sight. My library is about 140 GB. I reached out to Apple support about this issue and they just told me to wait a bit longer.

I can see that there are a few processes in the Activity Monitor related to the Photos app that appear and reappear, so I guess it's doing something. Once every few hours the "Date Modified" for the Photos library in Finder updates too
