Disk test running 10 days already
Hello, I'm running a readynas with firmware 6.10.1 On august 1 I started a disk test and it is still running now on the 11th. I guess this isn't normal. What should I do? Is it safe to reboot?...
Last night had to reboot after the device became unresponsive when I activated file search.
Should I try the disk test again or do something else first?

One possible reason for the very long test time is that you might have a failing disk. I suggest downloading the log zip file and looking in disk_info.log. Also look for disk related errors in kernel.log
You might also want to use ssh, and run smartctl -x
Not seeing any error in either log file.
Started the disk check again, hoping I will get some result this time
smartctl -x

ERROR: smartctl requires a device name as the final command-line argument.
Use smartctl -h to get a usage summary
