February 3, 20197 yr I am going to swap out a 3TB drive for an 8TB drive in a couple days. From what I understand, I just pull out the 3TB and shove in the 8TB and let parity and everything sort itself out. Right? I've got an 8TB parity drive, parity is built and there's another 3TB and another 8TB in the array already. It took over FIVE DAYS for the current 8TB drive to clear before it could be added to the array!! That's nuts!!

Do you mean clear or pre-clear? If you really mean clear then this suggest something wrong as I would expect a clear to take something like 2+ hours per TB. If you mean pre-clear then that takes a lot longer as it does a read, write and read of the whole drive with head movements thrown in (and you may have have asked for multiple cycles) so that always takes MUCH longer.

Nope...just to clear. Not preclear. No idea why it took so long, but yup. Took over 5 days.
