I was being stupid and when smoke testing my storage server I forgot to plug in the power of one of its drives (D'oh!) Now I am stuck in rebuilding the RAID-5 array. (Thank god it is RAID-5 or I could have lost a few TB worth of data)
How can I estimate the time it would take to rebuild the entire array?
More details about my setup:
- RAID card: LSI 3ware 9750-8i
- HDDs:
- HGST HUA5C3030ALA640
- WDC WD30EFRX-68EUZN0
- WDC WD30EFRX-68EUZN0 (this one was unplugged and rebuilding)
- Rebuild priority is high (5).
