I have a server that has which is reconstructing the RAID 5 array after having two disks added to the array. As the reconstruction process is running into business hours, is it possible to reduce the Reconstruct Rate to say 5% during business hours and then increase back up to 30% outside of business hours?
I have a PowerEdge T310 with virtual drive (4 x 2TB) RAID-5 which was full. I added 2 x 2TB drives and started rebuild of the RAID-5 array. 3 days later it's still reconstructing. Is there any way to speed up the RAID-5 to 6 drives reconstruction process and monitor how far along it is?
There really isn't any way to speed it up, short of not using the server and allowing it to complete before putting it under a load. As far as monitoring the progress, you should be able to use OpenManage to monitor its progression.
Let me know if this helps.

The thumbs up appears to work when I tried it, so not sure what the issue would be with that. Now as far as CentOS, you would want to use the corresponding RHEL version.
