I ran a check on a RAID6 and my entire machine was timing out ssh
connections etc until it was just about finished, I never experienced this
with RAID5, any comments?
$ cat /sys/block/md3/md/sync_speed_min
1000 (system)
$ cat /sys/block/md3/md/sync_speed_max
200000 (system)
md3 : active raid6 sdl1[9] sdk1[8] sdj1[7] sdi1[6] sdh1[5] sdg1[4] sdf1[3] sde1[2] sdd1[1] sdc1[0]
2344263680 blocks level 6, 1024k chunk, algorithm 2 [10/10] [UUUUUUUUUU]

# dd if=/dev/zero of=disk bs=1M # write to entire raid6 device
# then, run a check > on /sys/etc for all devices that support parity
# (do this on a regular basis w/raid1+5), never seen any slowdown etc like
# i experienced w/ RAID6: /app/jp-mystuff/bin/check_mdraid.sh
