Thanks! I guess the "current offset" number is my best progress indicator? I see a number in the format 1,000,000,000,000. I guess that's about 1 TB into the verification process of the first pass?

Secondly, I don't see any of the standard forum controls to log in/log out, or to change my forum password. How would I accomplish that? If they're there, those functions are hiding in plain sight!]]></content:encoded>

When the certify operation started out (3 passes, no random access because I was unsure of the fan/cooling status of the enclosure) it was 43 hours remaining. Now, about 3 1/2 hours later, the time has only increased. as I type this, it's now at nearly 48 hours.

No errors have been found, but should I be worried?]]></content:encoded>
