RN2120 Hot Swap HDD by Accident now Re-syncing
Hi, new to the community, looking for wisdom :) I've got a RN 2120 with 4 x 4TB WD Black drives, the NAS is setup as RAID5 for home use storage, total space comes out to 10.9TB. The hard drives are brand new and have nothing on them. What happened today is I accidentally pulled out a hard drive and popped it back in while the NAS was running. As a result, the hard drive that was out for a split second is now being re-synced and its taking 20 hrs or so to perform the function, is this normal under RAID5? If somebody could explain, why would the empty hard drive need to be re-synced for RAID5 if there’s no data? Thanks, YasSolved
