Hi,

I'm a happy user of mdadm 2.6.7.1 (2.6.7.1-1ubuntu8) and would like to
make a request.

When my monthly RAID check is triggered (I have two SATA disks in a
RAID1 setup) it consumes a significant amount of resources, essentially
freezing the system for the most part.

While I might cancel or reschedule these checks as needed, I would
prefer if the bandwidth usage could be configured manually, or even
adjusted dynamically. Alternatively, is there already a way to minimize
the impact beforehand?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Kind regards,
David Vuorio
