February 1Feb 1 Hi everyone, how to you test if unraid is going to work for you if the Array parity sync takes more than 30 days?!I have created a test array of 32 TB from 3 disks and 1 parity disk. The sync has been going for 9 days and it still says 23 days left. I want to copy some date, pull one of the data disks and verify no loss. next I want to remove the parity disk and see the behavior - unable to do this before the license will expire...thx for your help
February 1Feb 1 Community Expert Please post the diagnostics, but looks like you are using USB? That's not recommended, and possibly why it's so slow; it may be using USB 2.0
February 2Feb 2 Community Expert I also noticed the filesystems of two of those drives are really odd choices… exfat and ntfs?IMO once you fix the speed issue you should strongly consider using XFS over the other choices you made.Also parity syncs/checks should normally take about 1.5 hours per TB of your single largest disk. It takes just under 24 hours for my 12TB disks to complete. Edited February 2Feb 2 by MowMdown
