I created a raid array:
---
# mdadm --create /dev/md_d0 -ap --level=5 --raid-devices=2 \
/dev/sda1 missing
---
Then partitioned it:
---
# LANGUAGE=C fdisk -l /dev/md_d0
Disk /dev/md_d0: 250.0 GB, 250056605696 bytes
2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 61048976 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/md_d0p1 1 61048976 244195902 83 Linux
---
Then made a ext3 filesystem in /dev/md_d0p1 with mke2fs.
Then I added another device:
---
# mdadm --manage /dev/md_d0 --add /dev/sdb1
---
Currently status is:
---
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid0] [raid5] [raid4]
md_d0 : active raid5 sdb1[2] sda1[0]
244195904 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [2/1] [U_]
[>....................] recovery = 1.0% (2588800/244195904)
finish=2100.4min speed=1916K/sec
unused devices: <none>
---
The speed is only 2000K/sec, even after I set:
---
# cat /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min
10000
# cat /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max
400000
---
The system is about 90% idle, so there should be more bandwidth.
---
# cat /proc/version

Any tips?
