Re: Questions about software RAID level 1 (how long should it take to sync, etc?)

["Mike Garey" <random51k@gmail.com>]

okay, I just got to work and after doing a  cat /proc/mdstat, I see
the following:

[===========>.........]  recovery = 59.6% (94640896/158577472)
finish=672.0min speed=1583K/sec

I've googled a bit, but I can't seem to find any way to safely stop or
pause the synchronization process that was started with "mdadm --add
/dev/md0 /dev/hda1"..  Does anybody happen to know if this is
possible?  At this point, I don't mind losing all the data on the
drive that's being sync'd, but I'd rather not kill the source drive. 
Thanks!

Mike
