RAID Sync taking a very long time

Hi, I have a ReadyNAS NV with 4 disks. I swapped out a disk about 6 days ago and replaced it with a higher volume drive, and the NAS initiated a RAID Sync. However, its been 1 week and it still hasnt finished. The light of the sync disk is still blinking as of this writing.

I had performed the same thing about 2 weeks ago swapping out a different disk, and the RAID Sync took about 5 hours that time.

Can anyone tell me if there is something wrong, or if there is some way I can check or abort this process?

Thanks.

    Do you have a backup of your data?

    Can you send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

      Thanks for the quick reply.   The problem is that I can't even access Frontview or ssh into the box right now.    How do I send the log in this case?

       

      The only thing I have so far is an automated email sent by the ReadyNAS telling me that RAID sync has started, and that was a week ago.
