I came to find out what is taking forever. i frankly never doubted it was something i am doing myself. but please, pretty please, HOW do i check what is preventing the stopping of the array? is there a command i can execute?

I wanted to share this command runs fine in my situation. However, unRaid still did not take the new IP address I told pi-hole to give it. unRaid is still using a random one it got yesterday. Edit: I wish a saw the save button in the pi-hole interface sooner. THIS COMMAND WORKS!!!!

It's bene over 19 hours now and still going good. speed is down to about 40mb/s, but i find that understandable considering the 5tb drive is a laptop sized shingled magnetic cell type and it's also under heavy use of other processes. i consider this a fix! thank you!

I did the suggested update. very handy doable via the interface! after reboot, the parity check started and currently works as fast as expected Total size:14 TB Elapsed time:5 minutes Current position:39.4 GB (0.3 %) Estimated speed:146.2 MB/sec Estimated finish:1 day, 2 hours, 32 minutes Sync errors corrected: 0 I will report back on the longer-term effects edit: intermediate report, 3 hours and 15 minutes in, normal performance on the parity check

Thanks , The zip is attached. i suppose it's in the zip as well, but in summary: Only one unraid machine Version: 6.9.2 Boot: FlashCruzer_Fit - 32 GB (sda) drives: Parity WDC_WD140EDGZ-11B1PA0_Y6GLWZ8C - 14 TB (sdf) Disk 1 WDC_WD140EDFZ-11A0VA0_XHG8J6JH - 14 TB (sdi) Disk 2 WDC_WD140EDGZ-11B1PA0_9MHAJZYJ - 14 TB (sdg) Disk 3 WDC_WD140EDFZ-11A0VA0_9KHBMBRM - 14 TB (sdd) Disk 4 WDC_WD140EDGZ-11B1PA0_Y6GWEY3C - 14 TB (sdb) Disk 5 ST5000LM000-2AN170_WCJ2K5EV - 5 TB (sde) CacheOCZ-VERTEX3_OCZ-V902AEB6GY6NJRQ6 - 240 GB (sdc) Cache 2Samsung_SSD_850_EVO_250GB_S21PNSAG714210D - 250 GB (sdh) all drives connected via on the motherboard sata no VM's 3 dockers, but these are stopped The current prarity check displayed on the main page: Total size:14 TB Elapsed time:12 hours, 35 minutes Current position:1.05 TB (7.5 %) Estimated speed:99.2 KB/sec Estimated finish:1510 days, 4 hours, 39 minutes Sync errors corrected:0 motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme4 American Megatrends Inc., Version P2.20 BIOS dated: Fri 29 Jun 2012 12:00:00 AM PDT Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz unraid-diagnostics-20220111-1136.zip

so starting this weekend (and after a reboot last night) the server seems limited to 10mb for only a single disk at a time once some hours have passed. just after the boot i'm seeing about 150mb/s going for the parity check. i can copy files over the technical limited gbit utp i have on it's maximum speed. so i'm pretty sure the hardware can take all those speeds but after a few hours, parity check is 10bkit/s or slower. network responses are so slow teaching rats to plug and unplug thumbdrives would be faster. i really have no idea how to investigate and what to investigate. any help is appreciated ps: just in case it might be related, there is about 300gb on my 500gb cache disk which will not be moved at all. even all shares now have NO cache specified now and it just sits there.
