Depending upon the hardware and the size of data it takes approx 25 to 30 minutes per gig.<BR /><BR />Regards, Sat, 15 Nov 2003 10:21:43 GMT Sunil Jerath 2003-11-15T10:21:43Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/expanding-array/m-p/3120100#M22712 I'm expanding a disk array on a Proliant 7000. I added 2 18GB disks. 5 pre-existed with one hot spare, Raid 5. It appears to be taking a very long time, over 3 hours now. The percentage bar goes to about 17-19% and starts over. It has done this at least 3 times now. Is something wrong or is this normal?
