Imaging is still taking forever. the last couple of folks I've talked to said their images attempt to sync after the boot, not during the rsync (image creation process).
I've modified the speed_limit files to have 1000 or so for min and max (took forever), I then changed it to 5000 and 100000 and it's still taking forever, these images are taking like 3 hours each on 120gb drives. I really wish that it would not attempt to sync during the image and simply do it after the server comes up the first time (really, anyway this can happen? Or force the raid group stopped until a reboot and start it again?!) <shrugs> But I have had some success, got the system up, with the MD devices (no /etc/raidtab file) but things appeared to be running on the software raid and thus md devices. I did however have an empty /var volume which was "strange" (I'm imaging again after a few more tweaks to see what's what (but this 3-4 hour image timing is killin me!).. /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min what I'm waiting for now, it's laying down the image (rsync and I get these messages every X (once a md device finishes sync'n I guess) (note i have tried 1000/1000 on speed and it took the same amount of time as this appears to be taking). md: minimum _guaranteed_ reconstruction speed: 5000 KB/sec/disc. md: using maximum available idle IO bandwidth (but not more than 100000 KB/sec) for reconstruction. md: using 128k window, over a total of 2007744 blocks. md: md2: sync done.
