Hi Phil
If your CPU has free cycles, I suggest you run raid6 instead of raid5+spare.
Phil
I started the raid 6 array and get:
Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid6 sde5[4] sdd5[3] sdc5[2] sdb2[1] sda3[0]
13759296 blocks level 6, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [5/5] [UUUUU]
[=================>...] resync = 87.4% (4013184/4586432) finish=0.4min speed=20180K/sec
when I started the raid 5 array I get
md0 : active raid5 sdd5[4] sde5[5](S) sdc5[2] sdb2[1] sda3[0]
13759296 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/3] [UUU_]
[=>...................] recovery = 6.2% (286656/4586432) finish=0.9min speed=71664K/sec
so I have to expect a three times less write speed - or is this calculation
to simple ?
