First, thanks to all the authors of software RAID, which works really well. I have just one problem(!) and as disks get bigger it gets worse: reconstruction takes a long time. At the moment I've just had a disk fail on a 5x250 GB RAID5 array and it's going to take eight days to recover. Is there anything I can do to speed things up? FWIW, each disk is the master drive on an IDE card, two of the disks are shared with the RAID1 root partition and one of the 5 devices is a RAID0 stripe. The system isn't doing anything else, it's just used for backup. Thanks again.
