Below is what is in the log files, over and over and over, eventually filling up the small 2gb root partition with log files (six hundred plus megabytes worth). Thankfully this was just a new raid, and didn't have any data on it yet, and i found the easiest way to fix it, was to stop the array, and re-create it. Currently its syncing, and I will write the list again if it happens again.. but I am curious if this is a known problem, and what might have caused it, as I have other raid5's that i hope don't have the same problem one day. .<6>md: syncing RAID array md0 md: minimum _guaranteed_ reconstruction speed: 1000 KB/sec/disc. md: using maximum available idle IO bandwith (but not more than 200000 KB/sec) for reconstruction. md: using 128k window, over a total of 195360896 blocks. md: md0: sync done. over and over and over, the above message hits the logs several times per second.
