7 days ago, I pushed the button on a factory reset of my ReadyNas214 with 4x6TB disks. This defaults to xraid, which I have never used before, but am curious about. Today, 7 days later, exactly, we are at "RESYNC data 50%" progress. Some questions for you:
Is this kind of duration normal/expected? Does it really take 14 days to set up xraid with 4x6tb disks?
What steps will be performed when the resync is complete? How long will they take? Assuming resync succeeds, can I start using the nas straight away?
If a disk fails, somewhere down the line, in the future, and I replace it, how long will it take to resync with a replacement disk?
However, there is an error between keyboard and chair....
Just looking at the logs again and, in the smart_history.log, saw a WD60EFAX where there should have been WD60EFPX.
Not sure how I managed it, but I put in three Red Plus disks and one SMR Red. It was on my desk
when I was testing the others. I must have put one of the new Red Plus disks away, thinking it was one of the old ones, and put an old Red in. It is SMR and clearly the source of the issue.
