Thank you for the reply ICTCity, Maybe I should have been more clear. This is not hardware RAID. This is volume RAID 1 through Disk Manager. I have found that it is faster to copy the data to a spare drive, break the mirror, create the mirror, and copy the data back. This takes about 10 hours. A re-sync can take five days or more. As for refreshing Disk Manager, this does not work for me. It actually clears the percentage display. For example; If I see "Re-synching(15%)", after a refresh I see "Re-synching". The percentage value only updates every 3% of the re-sync, or at least this is what I have observed. I was hoping there was a command line tool or API to query the current percentage complete. Anyway, bottom line, a 2TB 3Gb/s re-sync should not take 5+ days when it only took me five hours to copy 1.75TB to the mirror. If Microsoft is listening, it would be nice to have a way to pause the re-sync if a reboot is required. It would also be nice to have a continuous update of the percentage complete. Thanks,

Hello, I have a couple questions about how mirrored volumes are handled by disk manager. 1: When a member of a mirror set is being resynchronized and the computer is rebooted, the re-sync process restarts at zero percent. Is this the intended behavior or do I have drive or controller issue? Re-syncing 2TB drives without being able to restart the server is very frustrating and causes excessive wear to the drives. 2: Is there a way to actively monitor the progress of a mirror re-sync? I realize leaving Disk Manger open will eventually update the status of the rebuild with a percentage. However, this can take hours for a value to be displayed. I would like a way to actively poll the re-sync status. Any ideas? Win2k8 RC2 x64 SP1 IBM x3800 system Thank you,
