Doing this 6 times, so 3 hours resyncing disks.

Probably could resync faster if I set some kernel parameters, but it doesn't really matter.

@splitshockvirus@mstdn.starnix.network sync times are another reason to use btrfs for RAID which does all the sync/parity calculations on each write. Saves so much time :)

@splitshockvirus@mstdn.starnix.network hasn't failed me yet, because unlike other people I read the documentation!

@10leej @splitshockvirus Well I am never using btrfs for RAID again because it has failed on me and I also have read the documentation (Arch Wiki)

@10leej @splitshockvirus @EricZhang456 Sync times on mdadm are fine, plus why use btrfs when you could use zfs.

@dcc @10leej @splitshockvirus ZFS is not mainlined and that's a problem on it's own

@EricZhang456 @10leej @splitshockvirus It still works though
