Not sure what's > causing that though... Sorry to reply to myself, but I just did the same thing on a different machine (with an older mdadm) and I also got an..."optimistic" resync speed reading on it after the grow, when it 'resumed from checkpoint'. Oddly, these machines reported normal speeds during the resyncs that occurred when I rotated larger drives into the machines. Perhaps it has something to do with resumption from checkpoints? Anyway, I hope all the reports help. -Mike - 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
