t is no secret that I am a pretty big fan of excellent Linux Software RAID. Creating, assembling and rebuilding small array is fine. But, things started to get nasty when you try to rebuild or re-sync large size array. You may get frustrated when you see it is going to take 22 hours to rebuild the array. You can always increase the speed of Linux Software RAID 0/1/5/6 reconstruction using the following five tips.

Recently, I build a small NAS server running Linux for one my client with 5 x 2TB disks in RAID 6 configuration for all in one backup server for Mac OS X and Windows XP/Vista client computers. Next, I cat /proc/mdstat and it reported that md0 is active and recovery is in progress. The recovery speed was around 4000K/sec and will complete in approximately in 22 hours. I wanted to finish this early.

Tip #1: /proc/sys/dev/raid/{speed_limit_max,speed_limit_min} kernel variables

The /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min is config file that reflects the current "goal" rebuild speed for times when non-rebuild activity is current on an array. The speed is in Kibibytes per second (1 kibibyte = 2¹⁰ bytes = 1024 bytes), and is a per-device rate, not a per-array rate . The default is 1000.

The /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max is config file that reflects the current "goal" rebuild speed for times when no non-rebuild activity is current on an array. The default is 100,000.

To see current limits, enter:
# sysctl dev.raid.speed_limit_min # sysctl dev.raid.speed_limit_max
