resync question

[jmm]

after mkraid --really-force'ing a new md0 (diff chunk size - 256k)
and doing a mke2fs -b 4096 -R stride=64, I noticed that the
finish= time in /proc/mdstat still runs into the hundreds of minutes.

Would bonnie results on a md0 that's at "resync=9% finish=552.9min"
be valid?  Can I force it to hurry up?

Thanks,

James Manning
