RE: [cobalt-users] [RaQ 4] Slow RAID rebuild after kernel 2.2.16C33III-1 update

["Jerry Farquhar" <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well.. I fully agree with you and the RAID issue your seeing.  We've got a
couple of RAQ4R's ourselves and they almost always seem to want to rebuild
the RAID for sometimes hours after a simple reboot.  That just doesn't seem
right either.

For what it's worth we have come up with a true hardware RAID solution for
all of the Cobalt products including the single drive Raq's or Qubes.
Actually it is not specific to Cobalt but functional with virtually any
system and O/S.  It is a true RAID and does not require any drivers.

If you or anyone else is interested in learning more about it feel free to
drop me a note off list.

I'm one that had this problem... two days to sync up the hard drives. I
haven't rebooted since. Does it take it that long on any reboot or was
it an anomaly for just the one time after the patch update?
