Hmmm.  It's syncing at 6056k/s.  dd ran at 320MB/s.  worrying.  Wonder if the controller is not that good. Sorry for line breaks, Outlook.

How can I stop the kernel from autodetecting?  You just made me realize that this would solve my other problem: I cannot reboot my server remotely because it asks for the dmcrypt password on boot when I put a line in crypttab.  Mounting everything with scripts *after* boot would let me reboot remotely. :)

Thanks a lot for the help.  I'll try mdadm --stop as soon as syncing has finished (95% complete now!!!)
