Resync of an almost failed X-RAID : can I stop resync ?
Hello, I'm using a ReadyNAS Ultra 4 with RAIDiator-x86 v4.2.22. The web UI told me that a hard drive was probably about to crash (impending errors). I just bought new hard drive to replace it. My ...
You can't really rely on the "time remaining". How long has it been resyncing?
If the NAS is not trying to expand, and the only issue is the single bad drive, then you [theoretically at least] should be able to pull the bad hard drive and replace it with the NAS running.
Though generally I don't like to disrupt resync, it seems like asking for trouble. If the drive does fail, resync will stop and you could replace it then.
So it's a bit of a judgement call. The main thing is to make sure you have a full backup. If you don't, I would make one now.
