Duas semanas atrás eu instalei 6 novos discos rígidos (HP 500GB 6G 7,2K SFF 2,5-polegadas 2 portas SAS DualPort Midline, 507610-B21)
em um "HP DL 380 G5" com um "Smart Array P400" (RAM Firmware Revision 2.08, ROM Firmware Revision 2.08).
Eu criei um novo disco lógico com 5 discos físicos no RAID 5 e uma unidade sobressalente (matriz B):

Smart Array P400 no slot 1 (sn: P61620D9SUKHBP)
matriz A (SAS, espaço não utilizado: 0 MB)
logicaldrive 1 (136.7 GB, RAID 1, OK)
physicaldrive 2I:1:1 (port 2I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 146 GB, OK)
physicaldrive 2I:1:2 (port 2I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 146 GB, OK)
matriz B (SAS, espaço não utilizado: 0 MB)
logicaldrive 2 (1.8 TB, RAID 5, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:5 (port 1I:box 1:bay 5, SAS, 500 GB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:6 (port 1I:box 1:bay 6, SAS, 500 GB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:7 (port 1I:box 1:bay 7, SAS, 500 GB, OK)
physicaldrive 2I:1:3 (port 2I:box 1:bay 3, SAS, 500 GB, OK)
physicaldrive 2I:1:4 (port 2I:box 1:bay 4, SAS, 500 GB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:8 (port 1I:box 1:bay 8, SAS, 500 GB, OK, spare)

After that I could create the filesystem on It, mount It and use It without any issue.
My problem is that One week later the controller still was initializing parity.

At that moment, trying to speed up the parity initialization, I increased the rebuild and expand priority from "medium" to "high".
But, one week later (working with high priority) the "Parity Initialization Status" is still "In Progress".
Do you know if this is normal and I should let It continue working?
Do you know any way to check if really "Parity initialization" is being done and how long It will last?
Thank you very much.
