I just found something interesting; if I raise speed_limit_min, I get much
better speed than I initially got. My 2->4 slow IDE disk setup:
md1 : active raid5 hdg1[4] hde1[5] hdc1[1] hda1[0]
39078016 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/2] [UU__]
[==========>..........] resync = 52.4% (20499840/39078016) finish=50.0min speed=6187K/sec
This is more than good enough for me, at least. :-)
I noticed a problem during a big test resize now, BTW; for some reason,
pdflush goes into uninterruptable sleep, and kjournald and thus the
filesystem seems to follow. I'm not sure if this is a starvation issue or
not, but it sure is a bug -- I'll look into it and see if I find something
obvious.
