Do you not recall that I explained in detail, not two days ago, why you
should not use a 1GB block size when testing with dd in this manner?
And don't do this with the raw device. The resulting numbers, no matter
how large or small, are irrelevant.
*Put a filesystem on md0* and do:
~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/some/dir/test.dd bs=4096 count=2621440
And why on earth would you bother running this test while the array is
still building? Again, the resulting figure is worthless to everyone.
