I recently read an article that claimed the default mode of --create (to start with a spare and rebuild it into the array) was faster than doing a full resync. It turns out its not on my system. With the default --create the rebuild goes at 60MB/s or so, while when passing -f it goes at around 80MB/s. using the -f option to --create saves nearly 2 hours when building a fresh 4x2T raid array. Is there a reason the default is still rebuilding a spare into the new array? -- Thomas Fjellstrom tfjellstrom@xxxxxxx -- 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
