Then probably the partitions are really misaligned. Anyhow a wev search for similar cases shows in some cases higher reshape and resync rates, but not enormously higher, and usually 'stripe_cache' helps, at least with the reshape. Perhaps disabling barriet might help if they are enabled, but that would be quite dangerous, as you already had a crash during reshape. It may be good to reassemble the array with '--freeze-reshape' to allow it to resync without interference from reshaping, hopefully faster, and then '--continue' after resyning has ended. -- 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
