Question: If I use: >>> echo repair > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action to start a check action, then stop it with >>> echo idle > /sys/block/mdX/md/sync_action and later start it up again. Will it start again from the "beginning", or is it able to pick up where it left off? Essentially if I find the repair/sync action causes too much of a performance hit, could I have it run only during hours that I know the array will not be in use and still have the array checked in its entirety, or is the only way to accomplish that to let the action run from start to finish? -- 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
