I do that regularly.  Kick up both the Min and Max.  If the system is
under heavey load though it may take a while.  The system won't penalize
the apps over a raid rebuild.

Thus spake Dow_Hurst (dhurst at mindspring.com):

> May I "echo 2048 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min" to speed up the rebuild of a disk that was kicked out of a RAID5 array?  The rebuild is running at 1032K/sec and is at 88%.  That has taken 1.5 days minimum to get this far.  I was looking around using Google for the answer and never found anything on doing this during a rebuild.
