So, just a light post, I upgraded my Pi4 last night and found the Linux firmware breaks a 32bit install.

I've been meaning to change to 64bit for months, but as it's my DMZ box for torrents, radicale, etc, then it's just finding the right time to convert an adhoc setup into my ansible scripts.

Luckily I had a SD backup from September to get it running again

So, what have you broken over the holidays?

I told myself "with this 4 days of holidays i can easily rebuild the btrfs array". 3 days later it's still crunching numbers at 50MB/s... (but with all this time passed at that speed the drives would be able to fully rewritten multiple times...)

    And you did a backup first, right? 😉

    How big's the array? If it's PBs, then I can understnad it, but GBs... I agree, it should be done by now...

    ... unless it's still online and being written to by a database...?

    Yes. Luckily I did a snapshot then copied on a separate drive using btrfs send.

    I shut down everything, there's no activity... that's why I feel weird to see all this rebuild activity, yet so many hours passed...

    A scrub usually takes less than an hour...
