Still not completed
The RAID6 conversion has already taken 14 days.
Still puzzled by the disparity between the PuTTy reported progress (94%, a full day to go)
and the web-page progress which is only reporting 73% completed and implying there is another 19 days to go
Is there any other process it will try to do after the RAID6 progress reported via PuTTY?

Yes, there was still a long way to go.
Just so folks know who contemplate such a RAID6 migration:
Total time to complete job: 27 days
of which; RAID6 migration: 25.5 days.
All that with the processor flat out.

But please be aware that this only applies to TS-412, a now more than 7 year old low end model that wasn't best known for it's huge computational power even back then.windbag wrote:Just so folks know who contemplate such a RAID6 migration...
RAID have never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups on a different system (preferably placed at another site), you will eventually lose data!
A non-RAID configuration (including RAID 0, which isn't really RAID) with a backup on a separate media protects your data far better than any RAID-volume without backup.
All data storage consists of both the primary storage and the backups. It's your money and your data, spend the storage budget wisely or pay with your data!
