Linux by default does not saturate the disk during rebuilds so that users aren't overly impacted. If you want to speed it up tweak the parameters under /proc/sys/dev/raid. You should be able to get close to whatever the hardware is capable of, at the cost of higher loads and more lag. -- Bill Broadley Computational Science and Engineering UC Davis _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
