Package: mdadm Version: 2.5.6-9 Severity: wishlist Hi,
The montly checkarray job is great, but let's say I've got dev.raid.speed_limit_min = 200000 dev.raid.speed_limit_max = 200000 in my /etc/sysctl.conf because I want a rebuild to complete as quickly as possible. This also causes the self-check to really flog the tripe out of the array, which significantly degrades its performance. My wish is to be able to specify an alternative consistency-check speed_limit_min and max in say /etc/default/mdadm, and have checkarray temporarily adjust /proc/sys/dev/speed_limit_(min|max) appropriately for the duration of the self-check, and then return it to its previous value. I'd prefer to have the self-check take longer to complete, and not interfere with the array's performance, than have it complete quickly. regards Andrew -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages mdadm depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11etch2 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.1-23.2etch1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii makedev 2.3.1-83 creates device files in /dev Versions of packages mdadm recommends: ii module-init-tools 3.3-pre4-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii sendmail-bin [mail-transport- 8.13.8-3 powerful, efficient, and scalable -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
