I was just explaining to a coworker that their RAID5 rebuild is likely going to over a day, during which time they shouldn't even think about any I/O intensive activities like snapshot merging in VMware.

The first time I did a RAID rebuild after a failed drive replacement was back around 2002 and it took just a couple of hours, if that.
