Parity drive question


Recommended Posts

It is taking over 10 hours for Parity-Sync in progress. Is this normal?

 

Parity-Sync in progress. !

Total size: 4 TB

Elapsed time: 10 hours, 5 minutes

Current position: 3.83 TB (95.7 %)

Estimated speed: 81.1 MB/sec

Estimated finish: 35 minutes

 

If so what is it doing? Preclear is after this?

This is very normal. Parity sync is the initial creation of parity. It is a very infrequent activity after the array is initially defined.

 

Preclears should be done before a parity sync.

 

I do not recommend backtracking, but would suggest running several parity checks over the next few weeks and carefully monitoring the Smart attributes. Going forward, do Preclears before adding new drives to the array.
