However, you're running RAID1 over RAID0 - so to the RAID1 layer, the lower layer is busy - namely, it's being used by the RAID0 code. You can avoid this problem by running RAID0 over RAID1 instead. But since your disk configuration makes this impossible (you'd need matching disks for the mirrors), just modify your boot scripts to max out speed_limit*. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@willow.seitz.com A Pope has a Water Cannon.
