[New disk-clear is not progressing]

I added a new drive to my array.  Disk-clear starts and stops writing on the disk after a period of time (short).  Currently the disk-clear has been running for 1 day, 8 hours and is only done 102GB (0.7%) of a 14TB drive.  Estimated speed says 255.6 MB/sec.  It's really confusing.  Is the drive back?  I don't see errors and smart short test passes without errors.

[Keep certain VM's running without array started]

I could definitely see this as a very useful feature.  I would prefer that it go to unassigned drives or extra pools when they're available.  I'd prefer not to put them on my cache drives.  As I add network necessary VMs like pihole, I hadn't really thought about all DNS services being down while my array was down.
