For some reason, the sync process only transfers the data at the default minimum speed of 100K/s as found in /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min. I set the minimum to 80000, and it would gleefully chug along at 20000K/s (20M/s). I strongly suggest that you raise the speed_limit_min to something more reasonable. Forrest --
