__VERY__long rebuild time. Can I pull the drive?
I recently got a RN204. I installed a single 2TB drive and filled it to 95% full with data. Then I added a second drive. It proceeded to resync. That took 28 hours after which it indicated the volume was in RAID1 config. I then added a 3rd drive (all of same size). Now it is going to RAID5 but reporting 2013 hours left. It's been running for 21 hours already and it stands at 1.68%. I've got a backup running but it seems to be _very_ slow as well.
What are my options? Can I pull the drives and attempt to mount them on another system?
Thanks
Reggie

What firmware are you running? Have you tried disabling services you aren't using or can live without for a while?
the latest. 6.4 I think. Can I pull the third drive, restart the nas, and have it come back up mirrored? At this point I just want to get the data backed up. The third drive is showing quite a few smart errors.
I disabled ReadyDLNA and uninstalled the Plex app. DIdn't really help. it shows as 1.72% done. 1662 hours left. How do we know if it's its stared buildling parity on the drive? Can I shell into it and inspect the drives some way?
