Command line: advanced information
Hello
Is there a command line I could use in SSH to see the progression of Volume Expansion? It has been running for almost 18 hours now but the web console still shows :
Continuing with volume expansion or migration. Do not interrupt the system during this time. When complete, email notification will be sent to the alert contact list.
Thank you

ReadyNAS OS6 is based on Debian linux with MDADM RAID and BTRFS as the file system, so you can Google Linux commands and usually come up with the right answer. In this case, it's cat /proc/mdstat. To see it update in real time, add watch to the front. But you are going to find that the GUI pretty well reflects the same information.

Yup, command would be: watch cat /proc/mdstat
CTRL+C to cancel the watch and return to normal prompt.
