IIRC, a RAID5 is created by making the array in degraded mode and resyncing the array. So "create" and "resync" are basically equal in duration in this scenario. (I think creating a RAID6 works differently, but it's possible that create and resync times are comparable as well.) --keith -- kkeller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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
