Is there any way to stop or pause Windows fake-raid re-synching?
- by haimg
I have two physical disks, each one holds two volumes, they are Windows fake-RAID1. E.g.:
Disk A: Partition1 Partition2
Disk B: Partition1-Mirror Partition2-Mirror
After an unclean reboot, Windows started resynching these as expected. What was not expected, however, is that it started resynching both volumes at the same time. Both disks seek back and forth like crazy, and synching performance is horrible.
Question: Is these any option to stop or pause synching of just one volume? I know I can put one of the disks offline, but that will stop synchronization of all volumes on that disk.
Note: I have certain reasons why I need to torture myself with Windows RAID. I'm not interested in alternative RAID solutions right now.
