Hi: I just tried to install rhel 7.3 on a 4 disk raid6. it's a minimal install but took 3 hours to finish. I found the disk initialize speed is around 150MB/sec. in past the disk initialize speed will down to slow speed when there are other disk IO, but it seems not the case in rhel 7.3. I have check the below parameter: cat /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min -> 1000 cat /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max -> 200000 when the system is idle, the init speed is also about 150M/sec, so the system is use all the power to init when there are other disk IO. is it normal? where should I check? thanks a lot for help!!
