RN104 New X-raid volume resync showing over 100hrs
I had a drive fail. Replaced it and during the resync another failed. I recovered my files and got yet another new drive. So I put in all good drives. It was showing two volumes, data and data-0. I clicked on the new drive which was gray and selected format. I then selected all drives to setup a new x-raid volume. It started out showing about 120hrs. After 30 mins or so messages popped up saying Disk 1, 2 and 3 changed from Resync to Online. Now a day later no new messages and it is showing 590hrs remaining.
What is going on? All data I figured was gone so why is this taking so long? Did I maybe do something wrong and should kill it and start over?
Thanks

RAID resync is "below" the file system, so it takes the same amount if the file system is full as it takes when it is empty.
It is a background task, so the amount of time it takes depends on what else the system is doing.
I'm not sure why it's estimating that many hours (and often the estimates are incorrect). But you could try doing a full factory reset, and set the NAS up again from scratch.
Ugh this is getting frustrating. This wasn't this difficult when I first set it up new. So I shut it down and pulled all the drives. Put them in my PC and deleted all volumes. Booted NAS back on with the drives. It went into safemode and the Web GUI started the new start up wizzard. I followed the steps. Once in I went to change the network from DHCP to static, but then it warned me it was recommended to 1st setup a volume. So I went and did that. Started off showing 199hrs. Ok, it is what it is. I then went to change the network settings to my preferred static IP. The IP took but I can't access it. I can ping it. The page times out. The power button on the NAS does nothing.
Disk 1 light is solid. 2, 3 and 4 are all flashing fast.
