October 12, 201213 yr I added a new 1TB drive today. I just want to know how to check the status of the new disk that is being cleared? The webUI is non-responsive as expected. How do I check it in a telnet or putty session? I checked the log and is just says: Oct 12 11:02:12 Tower emhttp: clearing disk3... It has been 1.5 hours so far.
October 12, 201213 yr Author It finally is done. I just took the time to run some errands. Web UI is back online and disk shows as unformatted. I'm back in business. I guess from now on I'll stick with using pre-clear ahead of time.
October 12, 201213 yr It should be done soon. This is the reason pre-clear was developed. Disks can usually be written to at between 50 and 100 MB/s. At 100MB/s that is 6seconds per GB. Your 1TB drive is 1000GB, therefore the best case guess is 6000 seconds ( or 1.66 hours) More likely it will be closer to twice that... longer if the array was doing anything else or older hardware was involved. (3 or 4 hours)
October 12, 201213 yr Author Good to know. My question still stands though. Is there any way to check on this progress?
October 12, 201213 yr Good to know. My question still stands though. Is there any way to check on this progress? On older releases there was. (It would write a line to the syslog every percent or so) On current releases, I don't think there is.
