Volume Creation
I installed 2 new 4 GB hard drives 24 hours ago. The volume creation is still going on. It says it is only 16% complete, and it is going to take over 128 hours to finish. Why is this?
Actually, I misstated my query. The volume is syncing. And now, even though it is less than 10 minutes since my original post, the time remaining now shows 121 hours.
The time estimates are off (it won't take nearly that long unless there is a problem with the disks). But even though the volume is near-empty, every sector of the two disks still needs to be mirrored, and that will take a while.
It syncs faster if you don't access the NAS while the array is being built.
