Hi gang!
So my RAID5 (parity) of 4x 3Tb RED (total of 8.1TB) showed that one disk had errors, etc. I swapped it out for a new one, but the rebuilding takes forever. It's already 5 days since it started the rebuild. See screenshot here:
There is no progress bar on anywhere. The total data on it was about 5Tb worth (mainly photos and video files).
So my question is... how long is too long? Is there an alternative to RAID if it takes this long to swap a disk and have the machine functional again?
Thanks!
Gabi
