Scrub feature takes too long to use...
Let's talk about the scrub feature. Is anybody actually using it? I know scrubbing is slow. I expect that. I have the scrub schedule set to do it once every three months. The problem is, it is so...
The fun never ends. So I'm in the middle of getting the factory reset done. I'm now sitting with a reset NAS, waiting for the resync to finish before I can restore the configuration and the data from the backup (BTW, which of those should I do first?).
So now my question is: is it normal for the resync to take forever? This feels exactly like the slow scrub issue. It's reporting that the resync is going to take 43 hours. No wait, it just jumped to 48 hours. Yikes.
I just started a scub on my RN204 with 2 x 2 TB WD Red with approx. 900 GB of data on it.
The NAS was booted the first time on 9th of January and it is the first time i am running a scrub.
It has been running for 50 minutes and is 4.67% complete.
Hello spotcatbug,
File system check and RAID resync can take a while as they read entire partition and a bit slow. Both slow down more on a weaker processor like the 100 series. 2 days I think is okay but if it feels that it will take longer than that, maybe you need to contact support center.
Regards,
The resync is not a problem, really. I was under the temporary, mistaken impression that the NAS would be unusable during the resync. I'm now attempting to do the post-factory-reset restore while it's resyncing. Things are not going well with the restore (I have made another post about that).

The scrub finished in 7 hours and 22 minutes.
That's a completely reasonable amount of time. You have a series 200, though. I expect that to be faster. Although, scrubbing is probably a diskbound operation, so it shouldn't be too far off.
