RAID Scrub broken in 6.9.2?
Is anyone else having issues with RAID scrub seeming to go much slower and seemingly quit part of the way through with 6.9.2? 4-drive RAID5 here. I've started two scrubs now, they go even slower than...

The GUI-initiated scrub performs both an mdadm (the software RAID) re-sync and a btrfs (the file system) scrub. The GUI shows thes both as a "scrub". Use cat /proc/mdstat to see if one of the volumes is still re-syncing or stuck trying to do so.
This is not new in 6.9.2, BTW.

All seems well with the disks (the RAID5 in question is the top 4 disks):

The resync is 95% through. I'll let you all know if it mysteriously disappears again.
