My RAID 5 Array has been stuck Initializing at 72% for a Week Now

[MiamiLamiW]

It's a 32TB array with about 22TB full, I recently upgraded each disk in the array and rebuilt from 14TB to 20TB disks and it succesfully rebuilt a week ago. Then when I expanded the array from 25TB to 40TB it started initalizing, reached 71& then went to 72% then back to 71% and it's been stuck there for a week now

The 3 Harddrives are all Seagate IronWolf Pro 20TN Enterprise NAS Internal HDD Drives (ST20000NTZ01) and I have attached my export of the tool

I did swap positions of all my drives in this array to different ports and it started reinitializing from zero and is at 26% currently after 2 days and seems to be increasing

Hello MiamiLamiW

Thank you for the information. Before providing any recommendations and taking into consideration that you rearrange the driver and restarted the process, it will be better to wait and check if the same issue happens since the steps you did might help get the issue fixed. In case the initialization gets stuck again or if the process completes, please let us know.

Best regards,

Hello MiamiLamiW

I would like to confirm if the array was able to complete automatically after you reconnected the drives, or if you still need assistance with this issue so we can continue checking the information that you have provided.
