Migrating from X-RAID2 single redundancy to Dual redundancy

One variation (since you are doing dual redundancy) - you can install 3 of the 4 drives, which will default to single redundancy. Then add the last, specifying it is for redundancy in Frontview. That avoids the 10 minute window to override the default raid config via RAIDar.

I went ahead and set up the system this way ^ - first with 3 disks in single redundancy and today adding the forth disk for dual redundancy.

The initial single redundancy resync took about 6 hours.

According to Frontview, migrating to dual redundancy will take about 6 days! :shock: This is way longer than I expected and will take more time than I have to finish my job setting things up.

Restriping 1% complete, Time to finish 158 hr 36 min, Speed 6738 KB/sec

Is this normal? Searching the forums, it seems that dual redundancy is slow. If that's the case, since the system is still completely blank, would it significantly speed things up to simply do an another factory default and rebuild the volume as dual redundant from scratch, rather than re-stripe?
