Hm...I have tried that yesterday, and parity rebuild - just like after ac=
cidently having
typed "reboot", took about an hour for an 80GB two-disk RAID-1. Okay, an =
hour is quite
some time, but it's definitely not forever... ;-)

And the machine does not belong to the SotA "real fast wonderboxes", see =
for yourself below...
