    Synology – Speedup RAID rebuild time


    A rebuild of a failed disk can by design take two days.
    If you raise the “speed limit” it can go faster.

    /proc/sys/dev/raid
    Have two files:
    speed_limit_min
    speed_limit_max

    Old versions of DSM (Synology firmware) has a limit in “speed_limit_min” of 1000.
    New versions have 10000.
    Remember to use the newest version of DSM, but you can still edit the value by hand.
    echo 20000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min
