New RAID1 setup does a resync - is this normal?

Hardware ZimaBoard

Hello,

I have a brandnew ZimaBoard2 (updated to ZimaOS 1.5.4) with 2 brandnew HDDs. Just set up a RAID1, following whatever defaults are given by ZimaOS.

But now I’ve a question: ZimaOS dashboard reports the RAID1 is resyncing. Why? Is this a normal behaviour for a freshly set up RAID1? Note also, by now I also haven’t copied a single bit of my data yet to the RAID.

Thanks for clarification.

Yes my new RAID1 also did this.

PS I’d get some airflow over those drives.

Thanks. So while you observed a resync as well, you definitely consider that a normal / to be expected operation?

Regarding HDD temperatures: they are currently mounted in the standard tray from Zima. Yes, I’ve got the idea also for an extra fan :slight_smile: But need first clarification - see here my question related to that: what is the specified maximum current on the fan header?
