Or did you notice a difference? What about this: Device: tps Blk_read/s Blk_wrtn/s Blk_read Blk_wrtn sda 5.43 64.15 71.33 598692 665656 sda1 0.01 0.15 0.01 1421 64 sda2 5.42 63.95 71.32 596823 665592 sdb 6.22 219.19 71.33 2045590 665656 sdb1 0.29 67.16 0.01 626774 64 sdb2 5.93 151.87 71.32 1417344 665592 md1 12.56 129.09 57.25 1204696 534320 md0 0.01 0.08 0.00 724 8 Now, I do not recall any particular reason why it should be like this (i.e. no resync or else), but it seems to me a bit too unbalanced. Could it be a problem with /dev/sdb? I run smart long tests weekly, but nothing special was reported, until now. bye, -- piergiorgio -- 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
