It Took 4 Days to Add 2x 10TB Drives to My NAS

Grabe. I did not expect that it will take 4 days to add 2x 10TB volume to my NAS.

I’ve upgraded my family’s NAS to add another 2x 10TB drives.

I added the drive 2 days ago. Up until now, it’s still in progress. I did not expect it’ll be this slow. Good thing, I’m not in a rush.

I also realized the importance of UPS. Between adding the volume and completion, there was 20 seconds of electric interruption. That would have risk data corruption kung namatay yung NAS in the middle of the operation.
