Neil & Raiders,

I am using Debian 2.4.5 linux(for ARM ). The "resync" speed is about
26M/sec.
I have 8*120G HDDs so it takes about 24 hours.

I saw some bug fixes and improvement on this topic from
 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=100876771508736&w=2
I don't think any of the patches that you mention are particularly
relevant to your problem.

Maybe if you give some more precise details of your setup??

Also, try
   echo 100000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min
does that help?

According to log file(from above infor), it cleaned up many things related
with RESYNC, and had
some bug fixes. He mentioned it goes to linux2.5.x.

I think we should have the same changes to Linux 2.4.x, don't you?
If so which release should include them? Any problem to apply this patch
to my 2.4.5?

How about your patches(23+)? Can I apply them to my lINUX2.4.5?

I already use 100M  for speed _limit_min,  300M for speed _limit_max.
I could not notice a big difference from changing this values.

Q1: This value go back to the default at boot/reset,  Should I modify to
change this
       default value in "md.c"? By any config parameter?

Q2:  >hdparm -tT /dev/hdxx
          Timing buffer-cache reads: 52.24 MB/s
          Timing buffered disk reads: 24.43 MB/s

        The "resync" speed on the raid1 device with hdxx:  25.4MB/s.

        Do you think this speed is reasonable enough?

Thanks for your help,

Bo
