February 10, 201214 yr Just launched into a parity check and it says 694 minutes remaining. I have a 2TB parity drive and a pair of 2TB data drives on unraid 4.7. Is this length of time normal for such a small array? Its nearly 11 hours !!

Is this length of time normal for such a small array? Its nearly 11 hours !! Yes... could be quite normal. (especially if the drive spin up time skewed the initial numbers) http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=User_Benchmarks Looks like you are somewhere near 50MB/s
February 10, 201214 yr Author Looks like that total time has dropped a bit, I just got back in from the evening out and it shows 160 minutes remaining which puts it finishing somewhere around 3.00am...when I worked out the finish time earlier it was more like 6.00am. So, unless some changes are made or there is a problem shutting down or booting up, how often will parity checks happen or be needed? I'm guessing not so often?
February 11, 201214 yr It will happen after an unclean shutdown. There is an unMenu package that will run it automatically once a month. This also represents the rebuild time of a failed drive.
