IMHO a much better fix is to use the cfq I/O scheduler during the
rebuild. The default anticipatory scheduler gives horrible latencies
and can cause the machine to appear as 'locked up' if there is heavy
I/O load like a RAID reconstruct or heavy database usage.
The price of cfq is lower throughput (higher RAID rebuild time) than
with the anticipatory I/O scheduler.
