Array Rebuild Time (estimated 45 days and growing?)

[adoucette]

Greetings,

I have recently replaced a data drive because it had a high CRC error rate, pre-clearing the new drive and then following the instructions here: https://lime-technology.com/wiki/Replacing_a_Data_Drive

The drive was a 4TB "green" drive with 2TB of data on it, replaced with a 4TB "NAS" drive.

I started the array re-build, and the estimate to complete the process keeps growing and is now >45 days. See screenshot below:

 

This doesn't seem right from what I've read. Previous (monthly) parity checks have taken ~11 hours each.

How should I resolve this?

(config attached if needed)

Thank you much,

Ari

CRC errors are often due to bad connections rather than bad disks so maybe it wasn't necessary to replace. But since you are going to get more storage maybe worthwhile anyway.

 

You have some connections problems now trying to do the rebuild. Shut down and check all connections.

Like trurl mentioned check, or better yet, replace the SATA cable on the rebuilding disk and try again, also unRAID crashed and current rebuild stopped.

Thank you, correct. I replaced the SATA cables and rebuilt the array without issue.
