[Mondo-devel] Restore - wait long time for raid 1 md device sync

Hello,

Is there an option to disable waiting for raid software sync in case of
using software raid?

I was trying today to replace my HDDs (from 100 GB to 2 TB) and looking at
/proc/mdstat I have seen that I have to wait 4 hours (probably more as it
is a simple estimation).

My system is a quite old one (Centos 5.10) and most probably my SATA
controller is the bottle-neck here. However, during OS installation the MD
devices are just created and re-sync is done in the background, without
interfering with the installation.

I have understand that it is best to wait for resync before do anything
else - but could there be an option to disable it in 'expert' mode.

Waiting for your feedback,
