<DIV>Hi, hope someone can help...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have to go to the data centre tomorrow (a two hour drive each
way) to swap a failed disk - my tests and experience make me
think that the RAID1 rebuild will take about five hours for the 1TB
disks. As I also want to replace the current good disk with a new one it
means waiting for the rebuild to complete.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there anyway to speed this up? I've experimented with 'top' then
'r' for renice - changing it to -15 or -20, etc. It doesn't make much
difference. I was wondering if there was anything else I could do even if
the server is offline for a while.</DIV>

<DIV>Here's hoping :o), Richard</DIV></BODY></HTML>
