IMPORTANT:
If you add storage before parity initialization completes, the amount of time required to complete
parity initialization cannot be predicted because it depends upon the workload of the system. Be
aware that it may take several days to complete. If you schedule jobs to access the storage before
parity initialization completes, they will run but performance will be impaired.
