“奇偶初始化状态：进行中”已久

Question

两周前，我在带有“Smart Array P400”（RAM 固件修订版 2.08 , ROM 固件修订版 2.08)。

我在 RAID 5 中创建了一个具有 5 个物理磁盘和一个备用驱动器（阵列 B）的新逻辑磁盘：

[...] => ctrl 所有显示配置

插槽 1 中的 Smart Array P400（序列号：P61620D9SUKHBP）

阵列 A（SAS，未使用空间：0 MB）

  logicaldrive 1 (136.7 GB, RAID 1, OK)

  physicaldrive 2I:1:1 (port 2I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 146 GB, OK)
  physicaldrive 2I:1:2 (port 2I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 146 GB, OK)

阵列 B（SAS，未使用空间：0 MB）

  logicaldrive 2 (1.8 TB, RAID 5, OK)

  physicaldrive 1I:1:5 (port 1I:box 1:bay 5, SAS, 500 GB, OK)
  physicaldrive 1I:1:6 (port 1I:box 1:bay 6, SAS, 500 GB, OK)
  physicaldrive 1I:1:7 (port 1I:box 1:bay 7, SAS, 500 GB, OK)
  physicaldrive 2I:1:3 (port 2I:box 1:bay 3, SAS, 500 GB, OK)
  physicaldrive 2I:1:4 (port 2I:box 1:bay 4, SAS, 500 GB, OK)
  physicaldrive 1I:1:8 (port 1I:box 1:bay 8, SAS, 500 GB, OK, spare)

[...]

After that I could create the filesystem on It, mount It and use It without any issue.

My problem is that One week later the controller still was initializing parity.

[...] 阵列：B 接口类型：SAS 未使用空间：0 MB 状态：正常

  Logical Drive: 2
     Size: 1.8 TB
     Fault Tolerance: RAID 5
     Heads: 255
     Sectors Per Track: 32
     Cylinders: 65535
     Stripe Size: 64 KB
     Status: OK
     Array Accelerator: Enabled
     Parity Initialization Status: In Progress
     Unique Identifier: 600508B10010443953554B484250000C
     Disk Name: /dev/cciss/c0d1
     Mount Points: /buzonesdir 1.8 TB
     OS Status: LOCKED
     Logical Drive Label: A0C36F2EP61620D9SUKHBPA42A

[...]

At that moment, trying to speed up the parity initialization, I increased the rebuild and expand priority from "medium" to "high".

But, one week later (working with high priority) the "Parity Initialization Status" is still "In Progress".

Do you know if this is normal and I should let It continue working?
Do you know any way to check if really "Parity initialization" is being done and how long It will last?

Thank you very much.

重建/扩展优先级设置不影响奇偶校验初始化。

请注意，奇偶校验初始化仅在控制器不忙时发生。如果您正在积极使用控制器，则在完成初始化方面不会取得太大进展。为了尽快完成初始化，请让系统闲置直到初始化完成。

您也可以通过将“表面扫描分析优先级”更改为“高”来取得一些成功。如果此设置设置为“延迟”，则控制器在恢复表面扫描或奇偶校验初始化操作之前必须空闲指定的秒数。将其设置为“高”应该强制控制器进行一些形式的进步，即使是繁忙的。但是，初始化完成后，您可能希望将其重置为它开始时使用的任何值。
