Scrub Volume Command failed
Hi, I started scrub many days ago, it still says that it is running: Scrubbing in progress: 21.97% completed. Now I try on stop it, I get error, red cross: There was an error in volumes. ...
It seems to me that the most likely reason for a scrub to hang is that a disk is failing. So even if the reset resolved your issue, there is still something that needs to be checked out. At the very least look at the SMART stats.
The benefit of scrubbing is that the process reads through all the sectors on the array, so issues are caught sooner rather than later. Most users have a lot of rarely-accessed files on their drives (certainly I do). Though I don't access them often, I do want to know that they still can be read. I recommend running scrubs periodically - on my Pro I schedule them for every 3 months. Monthly is reasonable also, I see no reason to run them more often than that.
I've just started a scrub on my RN102 T1832 beta (I have 2 WDC 3 TB Red drives installed). If it also hangs, I'll post back.
