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?
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.
Like I said, it's already taken over 24 hours and it's only 16.6% (now) complete. Anyway, I will disconnect and wait patiently. Thanks.
Try downloading the log zip file from the web ui, and look at the SMART stats in disk_info.log
It does seem like a very long time to sync. Could easily be a bad disk in the mix.
Download the logs via the GUI and retrieve the disk_info.log. You can attach it to the thread (removing serial numbers) and we can take a look or you are welcome to PM me that log file and I can examine it for you.
