Have a look at man rsync - the --bwlimit=KBPS option.

Hello List,

while resyncing, the process takes the whole bandwidth from disk to disk.

This leads in a VERY unhappy situation, because the system on this raid is
unpractical slow now, because it has to wait for disk-io.

Look into sync_speed_min and sync_speed_max in /sys/block/mdX/md.

Different sized disks for RAID1+0 or RAID10.

2007-10-10 Thread Kelly Byrd

I've currently got a pair of identical drives in a RAID1 set for
my data partition. I'll be getting a pair of bigger drives in a
bit, and I was wondering if I could RAID1 those (of course) and
then RAID0 the two differently sized mds. Even better, will RAID10
let me do this? 

I don't need to grow the current RAID1 into this new beast, I've
got a place I can copy the existing data so I can start from
scratch.

I imagine the answer is: "sure RAID10 / RAID0 let's you do this,
but you don't get the striping performance benefit" for some of
the data", which would be ok with me until the smaller drives go
bad and I replace them.
