There were big problems with the EADS drives (and maybe more) that would cause them to basically become useless 1MB/s drives after X months of use. I've seen it personally. Search on "WD Green 1MB/s slow". Buy a new 2TB, dd the contents over with RAID off, or let md re-mirror. Wait a few days for it to finish if the bug hits... If you don't have a EADS drive then your problem is likely as Peter outlines. -- 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
