Thank you to Gordon, Maarten and Guy for your helpful responses. I learned much from each of your comments. Maarten: I paid $70 for an antec sl450 power supply. seems better price than you are saying ( is your power supply better?). Also I liked the idea of 6 +3+3 slots on your box, but i dont see it for sale in the us. Gordon: I get the same output on 2.6.8 sarge kernel for hpt366 driver. I notice that running hdparm /dev/hde that the IO_support is set at default 16 bit while on the other hard drive on the natice ide bus /dev/hdb has IO_support at 32bit. I wondered if I get the other driver whether that will improve things... Guy: > echo 100000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max >I added this to /etc/sysctl.conf ># RAID rebuild min/max speed K/Sec per device >dev.raid.speed_limit_min = 1000 >dev.raid.speed_limit_max = 100000 I notice that according to the man page the settings you describe are the defaults. Why did you have to adjust them? Moreover When I cat /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max -> i get ->200000 /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min -> i get -> 1000. interesting is i didnt adjust them up myself.... Should I adjust the speed+limit_max down to 100000??? I wonder where in debian it got adjusted up?
