Disk test question
Not sure if this is the correct forum, but here goes...
I am running a Disk Test from the Boot Menu. The test has been running for about 6 hours now. There is only two 2 TB drives in my ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus. The display panel as well as RAIDar shows only "Testing disks". For about the first 4 hours, the display panel did show a percentage progress...but that disappeared when it reached 100%.
So, I guess my question is whether it is actually still testing or might it be stuck/locked up? The corollary question: Is it normal for the disk test to continue to run AFTER the progress meter on the front panel has reached 100%?
Thanks
Edit: FWIW, if it is really still testing, then I am leaving it running and I should get my answer that way as well as I will leave it running over night.

The test just finished recently, so it must have just been still chugging along...just without any indication of progress (which I hate...that has become the norm...either no indication of progress or "fake" progress meters that are nothing more than "flashing lights" to meant to dazzle people...sorry...off topic gripe).
So, end result is my question was premature.
Thanks for the response though...
