Synchronizing Raid 1 Taking Forever
I have 2 x 2TB WD WD2001FASS drives that have fallen out of sync due to a power failure. As far as I can tell the drives are okay, since the DNS-323 is not reporting any errors. The drives are about 75% full and are usually lightly used to stream media.
The problem I'm having is the time it's talking to resync the drives which has been going on for nearly 3 days now. The unit has been used very little during the resync process with the only activity being the access of a Outlook pst folder a couple times a day. The estimated time to complete the resync fluctuates between 6,000 mins to 25,000 mins. Yep, that's between 4 to 17 days. Is this normal and is there anything I can do to speed up the process, such as pull one of drives, wipe the partition and re-insert to allow the raid array to be rebuilt?

Re: Synchronizing Raid 1 Taking Forever
It took me ~1 day to copy 500 GB from one disk to another on the DNS. It is quite slow...

Re: Synchronizing Raid 1 Taking Forever
The best way to ensure there is no activity would be to disconnect the network cable for a while. Keep in mind that other internal processes (media server scanning etc) also slow down the resync, not just external activity.

Re: Synchronizing Raid 1 Taking Forever
I had the UPnP server enabled. After turning it off the resync time dropped to 180 min.
Thanks.

Re: Synchronizing Raid 1 Taking Forever
That is definitely resource intensive 
Pretty much any disk activity kills (slows to a crawl) the rebuild process. It's just too much for the low end hardware to handle. This device really isn't built for multi-user access. The device is pretty good at doing some functions, but is not designed (nor intended at the price) to be competative with a PC.
Glad to hear it resolved your issue (or at least it is counting down from a smaller number of minutes).
