New RN314 / EDA500 Owner concerned about Resync times
Long time ReadyNAS NV+ owner, just recently purchased a RN314 (used) and EDA500. Right now I have 4 x WD40EFRX in each chassis. Having just received new 4 x WD40EFRX for the EDA500 today, I insta...
Wed Jun 7 2017 2:38:21 Volume: Volume ReadyNAS500 is resynced. ... Wed May 31 2017 15:57:24 Volume: Resyncing started for Volume ReadyNAS500. It finished. Eventually. The above can serve as a data point for 4 x 4TB drives, RAID 10 configuration, EDA500, on 6.6.1.
Thanks for those who suggested patience!
Appreciate the input, but performance was also a concern.
If the limitation is the eSata link, could I build the volume in the 314 then move all the disks to the EDA500?

Unfortunately, you can't destroy the volume while it is re-syncing. And if you just power down and remove the drives from the EDA500, there will be reminents of the EDA array in the configuration, and that could come back to haunt you. (I did have such a phantom, and it caused a big problem with the upgrade to 6.7.3.)
Maybe you can remove a drive from the array and make it crash and that will let you destroy it. Otherwise, you'd need to completely start over with the NAS as well as the EDA500 arrays to do that.
If you were starting fresh, I think there is a way to use the volume export feature to do what you want. But in the long run, the process would likely take at least as long as your current resync. And while you were doing it, you wouldn't have access to anything in the main array because it would be removed,
48 hours in, and I'm at 9.86%.
I'm at a loss. I cant believe this is normal....
I'll try my luck with Support on Monday.
I've only gone with RAID5 on my EDA500, but the times were not even remotely similar to yours. It's hard for me to believe that RAID10 makes that much difference. Yes, it takes more writes for RAID10, but not that many. I think calling support is a good idea. But I'm also wondering if something might be wrong with one of the drives. Hope you get it ironed out.
