Hi, all: As we know, when a raid5 array is created, recovery will be going on which involves some read, one xor and one write. Since there is no real data in the disk at the time, besides, if I am willing to wait for recovery to complete and then use this raid5, how about adding support for a fast recovery method? Right now, what is in my mind is zero all disks which belong to this raid5. I think it will increase raid5 recovery speed when created and decrease CPU usage, since all zero is also XORed. What do raid developers think? -- The simplest is not all best but the best is surely the simplest! -- 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
