LS-QVL, I17, how long to resync?

[awozniak]

Finally got 4 new drives working on my LS-QVL by swapping out one old drive at a time for a completely unformatted unpartitioned drive, clicking "remove" and then "format".

Then i set up for R5.  Now It's blinking I17 ("Resyncing RAID array").
How Long does this take?

I tried to add a new directory, but the "Volume" drop down is empty, and the thing won't let me "save" until I select something.
I'm guessing "Array 1" will fill in there when the resync is done?
Or am I missing another clue?

You still should be able to create a share in the volume while the resync is on going. Leave it complete, it can take 10 hours per TB and see what happens then.

Don't restart the NAS, if you do then the resync starts again from the beginning.

8TB * 4 drives * 10 hours == 320 hours == 2 weeks???

2 weeks

Is there any way to check progress?

[awozniak]

No, seriously, there's got to be a faster way to do this.  I can't believe this will take 2 weeks.
