From scratch; 'resyncing' new drives is taking a week, should I be concerned? Follow Up
I wanted to follow up on the original article but it was closed (https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Connect-2-ReadyNAS-104-via-USB-for-data-transfer/m-p/2165074#M47178). I'v...
forgot to mention...it does take days to resync from new and admin page when monitoring does crap out from time to time...
DO NOT powerdown/restart while resyncing...even though new drives, it will restart from scratch the whole resync process (lesson learned hard way)
What specific drives are you using? I hope that "good deal" wasn't for "archive" drives or any that are SMR, as they are not a good choice and will have very poor write performance.
yep..not SMR
First NAS - 4 x seagate 8TB st8000vn0022 Ironwolf's
Second NAS - 1 x HGST 8TB + 3 x Toshiba hdwr180 8TB (this was the crap shoot with the 3 toshiba drives under $200 cdn each plus my spare HGST)
So far so good...but again, second nas is going to be DAYS to resync
HTH
While you havew access to the admin GUI, I suggest you download the log zip file and look for any reported SMART errors. I have seen reports of sync errors on Toshiba X300 series drives (though most are old, so the problem may be fixed), and those would definately slow down a sync.
Also be aware that the time estimate for a sync is often quite a bit off at the beginning.
Thanks Sandshark!
Downloaded the logs but on first inspection, nothing seems to standout (no apparent SMART errors) but could be looking in wrong spot. In which log file would that error be displayed?
Thanks again for the follow ups...appreciated.
And for reference...approximately 22% through resync and just over a day passed...
