May 15, 201511 yr Trying to diagnose some hardware issues - starting with NO internet (aka no webgui). So I need a couple tools/techniques. 1. Is there a command that can display the progress of a parity check? 2. Is there a script that copies the syslog to the boot folder whenever it changes? Found this command /root/mdcmd status LOTS of information. Which info out of this command would be appropriate to understand the progress of a parity check? mdResync? mdState? sbSync? something else? If I do this: /root/mdcmd status | egrep "mdResync|mdState|sbSync" I get this: sbSynced=0 sbSyncErrs=0 mdState=STARTED mdResync=1953514552 mdResyncCorr=1 mdResyncPos=631452132 mdResyncDt=31 mdResyncDb=2185144 Is there anything that would give a percent complete? mdResync/mdResyncPos? Any way I could put that in division in a script and format it? Or is there a better, already done script I could download?
May 15, 201511 yr Community Expert My reply is OT but I just wanted to tell you about the link that appears in every post that says "Report to moderator". I used that to report your other thread about this that you wanted the mods to delete because you had posted in the wrong subforum. You can use that link in the future to report your own post.

Sticking with bash, you could do: A=$(/root/mdcmd status | egrep mdResyncPos= | sed -r 's/mdResyncPos=(\w+)/\1/') B=$(/root/mdcmd status | egrep mdResync= | sed -r 's/mdResync=(\w+)/\1/') RESULT=$(awk "BEGIN {printf \"%.2f\",${A}/${B}*100}") echo $RESULT Its not pretty but it works (bash doesn't support floating point, so the division winds up being done in awk)
May 15, 201511 yr Author Perfect thanks! Now to learn about bash scripts... @Trurl - thanks also, I use that in the future...
May 11, 201610 yr I was running a parity sync and had an issue with one of my off-line drives which caused the web gui to stop responding. I found this post helpful in confirming that the parity check was still running. Thank you all. I anticipated not being able to access the gui for the duration of the sync, so I took the details from this thread and produced a bash script that replicates the information provided in the web gui: #!/bin/bash status=$(mdcmd status | sed -n 's/mdState=//p') size=$(mdcmd status | sed -n 's/mdResync=//p') pos=$(mdcmd status | sed -n 's/mdResyncPos=//p') dt=$(mdcmd status | sed -n 's/mdResyncDt=//p') db=$(mdcmd status | sed -n 's/mdResyncDb=//p') gbsize=$(awk "BEGIN{ printf \"%.0f\",$size * 1024 / 1000^3}") gbpos=$(awk "BEGIN{ printf \"%.0f\",$pos * 1024 / 1000^3}") progress=$(awk "BEGIN{ printf \"%.1f\",($pos / $size) * 100}") speed=$(awk "BEGIN{ printf \"%.1f\",($db/$dt) * 1024 / 1000^2}") finish=$(awk "BEGIN{ m=(($dt*(($size-$pos)/($db/100+1)))/100)/60 print int(m/60) \"h \" int(m%60) \"m\" }") echo "Status: $status" echo "Progress: $gbpos GB of $gbsize GB (${progress}%)" echo "Speed: $speed MB/sec" echo "Finish: $finish" You can create this from the console using nano or vi. I saved as /boot/syncstatus, and made executable with `chmod +x /boot/syncstatus` If you run this once it will output the current status: Status: STARTED Progress: 1101 GB of 4001 GB (27.5%) Speed: 138.3 MB/sec Finish: 5h 49m If you want the information to continually update then you can use the `watch` command: watch /boot/syncstatus This will print the sync information and refresh the information every 2 seconds. You can change the polling period using the -n option (`watch -n 10 /boot/syncstatus` for every 10 seconds).

I'm in similar situation as OP and no programming experience but with your post I was able to run your script and see parity sync status from the console.
August 1, 20205 yr not sure what happened overnight but my boot drive dropped and webgui is unresponsive. this bash script has me looking at my parity check status. will reboot server once it finishes up. thanks for the write up!

My GUI stopped responding after starting the array when i replaced the parity disk (14tb) for a new 18tb disk i had no idea what the server was doing.. i selected the 14TB disk as a replacement for a old 4tb disk, i can't format it right now as the gui stopped responding and i had no idea how long it would take.. Now i see this, i think i will have to wait for it to complete... but at least now i know what is happening! Edited October 7, 20232 yr by furian

GUI stopped responding/refusing to connect when replacing 14TB parity disk for a new 18TB disk. What ended up happening with yours? Did the GUI eventually come back after completion?
April 14, 20242 yr Is there a way to pause parity check from commandline? My GUI is unreponsive, but I was able to get a command window to open. I can't access any GUI pages, so I cannot install the parity tuning plugin. I've ran the script @blender50 posted, so I know parity is running: Quote Array Status: STARTED Parity Check: Running Speed: 225.5 MB/sec Progress: 3018 GB of 18000 GB ################## (16.8%) Completing in: 18h 27m On approximately: Mon Apr 15 09:09:21 EDT 2024 Total Errors: 0
