smackdaddy33 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Parity check is running between 1.5MB/sec and 5MB/sec. I'm on 5.0rc11. I plan to upgrade to rc16, but do not have valid parity at the moment and want to get that out of the way first. I was in the process of adding a new drive. Right after I added it, I accidentally took it out of the array at one point and triggered invalid parity. This system has been slow for a while now, but I've just been living with it. An estimated two weeks for a parity check is way too long though. Syslog is attached. I have six 2TB data drives. The parity drive and the new drive are 4TB each. Any suggestions would be appreciated. syslog.txt Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 You don't have valid parity => so there's no reason to wait on the upgrade. Upgrade to v5.0, then do a new parity sync. THEN you can troubleshoot if it's still running very slow. Quote Link to comment
smackdaddy33 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 After consistently being under 5MB/sec last night, I woke up this morning to 25+MB/sec for no apparent reason. Who knows. At this rate I'll let it go. Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 That's still FAR too slow for a parity check with all 2 & 4 TB drives. ... unless there's something unusual about your configuration (e.g. a PCI-X card in a PCI slot; too many drives on an old PCI controller; etc.) Post the specifics of your configuration ... motherboard/CPU/memory/disk drive makes/models ... and by all means upgrade to v5.0 so you're not trying to troubleshoot an obsolete version Quote Link to comment
