Fast initialization just means it marks the array as ready and continues
scrubbing in the background. The scrubbing competes heavily for I/O.

Use MegaCLI to check initialization status, e.g. "MegaCLI -ldbi
-showprog -lall -aall".

Or look at the disks when you aren't doing anything. Are they both lit
up heavily?
