echo "10000" > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed-limit-max (or similar?)

You can do that in /etc/rc.local or something to make sure it sticks,
then you'll be able to use your machine while any array rebuilds.

I guess the feature you're asking for is for md to guess that accessing
any partition component on a disk that has a partition being rebuilt
should throttle the rebuild, right?

Can that heuristic be successful at all times? I think it might.

Does md have enough information to do that? I don't know...
