I recently had a hard-drive get marked as faulty by the software raid (after about 6 Months of running.) I have since replaced the drive and re-added it as per HOT SWAP in the howto http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.2 My problem is this, the current speed on the second drive is really slow, I'm not sure if this is just function of the limit it has during the rebuild or if when the original failure occurred the SCSI bus marked this target as "slow" and it is stuck at this speed. Anyone have any insights into this?
