O/T: RAID rant
I am posting from my brand new cheapo-but-still-quite-nice file server. After searching Best Buy in vain for a SATA cable, I found one at Radio Shack down the street. Ubuntu now tells me that it will take 500 minutes to do the initial sync of my RAID 1 array.
Yikes! I've tried using sysctl to raise the dev.raid.speed_limit_min to something like 300k/s, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Guess I'll just let it go overnight...

That's 300000 not 300. But changing the min doesn't seem to affect the current operation. Not sure how to do it short of rebooting. If I try to bring down the array I just get an error that the device is in use. It's fine. It'll finish in 8-9 hours.
