I am trying to use the parity swap procedure to upgrade my parity disk from a 2TB WD Green (5400RPM) to a 4TB WD Blue (WD40EZRZ, 5400RPM, CMR). Using the old 2TB drive to replace a data disk with SMART errors.
This is on an N54L microserver with the AMD Turion II Neo Dual Core @2.2Ghz. Unraid was just upgraded to 6.8.3 from 6.1 prior to starting the swap.
I started the array copy yesterday but it has only done 17% in 26 Hours. CPU usage bar sitting around 60% with one core sitting near 90%.
Is this expected? I know this isn't the fastest hardware, but surely it shouldn't take a week to copy 2TB?
Is there any way to do this faster? If it is a CPU issue can I take the drives out and do the copy (e.g. with dd) on my desktop?
Thanks in advance!
