That is odd, my recollection is that rebooting would cancel the test.
But reading data off of this volume can take upto 10 minutes for just 1 GB file to transfer.
Read-only status and the slow transfer speed suggests something else is wrong. I suggest that you download the full log zip from the log page and look there.
If you can't decipher the logs, I can take a look - put the full zip into cloud storage, and send me a download link in a PM (private message). Make sure the permissions allow anyone with the link to download. (Send the PM using the envelope icon in the upper right of the forum page).
I probably won't respond until early next week - I am on vacation at the moment.
