RN204 6TB hot-add expansion resync: ~90 DAYS?

I added a 4th 6TB HDD to what was intially a 3x6TB setup in my RN204.  I expected the rebuild to run into the weekend with a hot-add of that size... but checking the estimated resync time ~19 hours later shows that it has not even crossed the 1% threshold and the estimated remaining time is 90.4 days out.

 

This is a backup NAS (bulk storage/rsync target) for another mfgr's 8 bay so it wouldn't be out of the question to rebuild the array as a fresh new 4 disk array... but something else has to be going on here, right?

FWIW, the logs in the GUI are clean... with no errors related to the disk add.

        Surely you jest.  Did you click on it to expand it?  It should something look like this:

        If the antivirus service is enabled, then disable it.
