I find that if the kernel variable dev.raid.speed_limit_max is too high (the default, 200000, is usually too high), then the rebuild could taking all available I/O time. This can cause every other process trying to do I/O on the machine to block, which may be the reason your load average is so high. Try doing 'sysctl -w dev.raid.speed_limit_max=10000' and see if things improve. -jim - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
