Hi all, assuming there is a NAS, with, for example, 10 HDDs in RAID-6. Assuming the HDDs are put in standby, in order to save energy, when the NAS is not used. How is the spin up sequence when the corresponding /dev/mdX device is accessed? Will the system spin up one HDD at time or all together? Obviously, one at time will limit the peak current, thus allowing a better dimensioned PSU, working almost always around the optimal efficiency point. Thanks a lot for any information on the topic, 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
