Title: Odd Raid 1 Issue
Post by: xanadu on November 11, 2008, 06:18:14 PM
I just booted up the DNS321 after being off a few days and one of the drives indicated that it was not functioning (blinking orange). I logged in and the DNS said "degraded" under status. I thought this was odd as these are 2 brand new 1 tb disks. I removed the one that was blinking and rebooted, powered off and put it back in turned it on and now it says it's syncing.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Landon

and now.....the syncing gets all the way down to 100 minutes then I leave it alone and come back and it will say something like 1143 minutes left.

Anyone?

Sorry for the late reply. It finally completed rebuilding. I just thought that it was odd.

Yeah I have seen that before. When it is calculating time it just will display longer amounts of time then required because it just may be transferring slow on the network at that moment because of some other traffic on the network but it will go back to the correct time required to sync. I would not worry about it.

Network traffic per se should have no impact on rebuild times - unless that traffic is a read or write to the DNS-323.  It is more likely to be the (non rebuild) activity on the DNS-323 that is slowing the rebuild.
