Hello, 

 

I'm pretty new to unraid but I've had a good time with it the last couple months. My setup has 6x2TB HDDs, one of which failed last night, and the only drive I had on hand is a relatively unused 3TB I pulled out of my other PC. (I have 4x8TB coming to replace the failed one and 2 other sketchy ones but I need it going before the end of the month). I followed the parity swap instructions, and everything up until the copy was fine. Now the read/write speed of the drives are no more that 1-2MB/s and most of the time they're doing nothing. I attached what I think is necessary for diagnostics/logs, let me know if I'm wrong.

Parity is still being copied to the new drive, though rather slowly, what's the current progress percentage shown on the GUI?

After about 4 hours it was still 1% which seems quite excessive for a 3TB drive I would think. I stopped it and started it again just to make sure and that didn't do anything

It is, if it was close to the end it might be worth waiting, not like that, cancel and run the diskspeed docker test to see if the disks are performing normally, since there's nothing out of the ordinary logged.

How would I do that with docker? The array can't run normally so I can't run docker right?

You'd need to cancel the swap.

And then just run with the dead drive emulated I suppose, okay

Yep.

After leaving it do whatever it was doing all day while at work it seems to have sorted itself out. I tried starting the array to do the data rebuild but the whole system became completely unresponsive and I had to hold a pillow over its face, but after that it's now doing the rebuild, so things are good now I suppose. Thanks!
