RN204 resync after successful resync, any idea what's going on?
Ok, i'm confused. Original set up of disks was 3x1TB and 1x500GB. One of the 1TB was not on the HCL, neither was the 500GB so to play fair, I have swapped these, one at a time of course, waiting fo...

Now looking at it via cat /proc/mdstat, 2MB/sec was a good one, it's usually nearer 930KB to 1MB/sec.
Ok, it's slow and i'm impatient but I understand what's going on so i'll just let it chunter away until it's a happy bunny again.

Regarding the speed. There is a known issue that is fixed in ReadyNASOS 6.5.0 Beta
The services you are running and also the apps you are running and how heavily you are using the NAS are factors too.
- djtaylorMay 08, 2016GuideYes, i'd noticed that in one of your other posts to someone else. After my near total data loss scare, the unit is currently backing up to a cloud provider (the only other task running) I think the X-RAID notion is neat but i've since ordered 3 more WD Red drives to swap out my 3 old drives, that'll bring all 4 drives up to new WD Reds. I don't see myself doing another storage space upgrade in any time in the future, it'll be faster to flatten the config and start again as I already have a local backup anyway. I realise that the reshape time shouldn't really matter but I kinda like completed processes and to swap out 3 more drives at the present rate would look like around 3 weeks. On the basis that firmware 6.5.0 is just around the corner and that i'd rather wait for my cloud backup to complete (that'll be a few days), i'll just schedule a flatten NAS day and clear it all, fresh firmware and start again. So basically, my original idea to buy a diskless unit and just throw some old spare drives at it as a cheap storage thing has totally turned on its head and become a chunky investment!
