Hello All, I've gone through the faq, archives, newsgroups, google etc. I cannot find an answer to my question: After creating a new array, why is the time consuming resync required? I've built a few hardware RAID 5 arrays in my time using Mylex, Adaptec, AMI etc. I don't recall this hours long, sometimes days long initial resync using hardware raid. What's written to the disks using linux raid, and why isn't it used in hardware raids? Thanks, ~e (watching a raid 5 array, composed of five 250gb disks, resyncing...to be completed 16 hours from now...) ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ - 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
