Hi folks I am testing some HW performance with raid5 with 2.4.x kenrel. It is really troublesome every time I create a raid5, wait 4 hours for reconstruction, and then test some data and then recreate another one and wait again. I wonder if there is any hack or option available to create a raid5 without reconstruct the parity disk. I just have interest to test the performance so do not care about data correctness at this stage. Thanks!
