NAS Disk Test - Find out how long?
Being new to ReadyNAS there were various things I wanted to know. One of these was the NAS Disk Test, either via boot options, or scheduled volume settings on recent OS. The tests are a SMART Extend...
My first 2 Disk Tests were taking 3 hrs 17 mins and 3hrs 13 mins, as detailed above at beginning of this post.
My third Disk test that was scheduled at the weekend took 31 mins ONLY. (Edited as 31 NOT 13 mins originally shown)
When the first 2 Disk Tests were carried out it was when nothing was being copied to it etc.
I was expecting a similar time for the third Disk test, which was scheduled overnight.
Note that the data has not changed much and I believe that the time to run is not dependant on the data loaded.
I have checked and rechecked the timings in the logs.
Is it possible that there was some significant event that curtailed the test AND the event was NOT recorded in the GUI logs?
The 2 entries for the recent Disk Test are adjacent in the GUI logs.
