/proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max resetting...
I followed the guide here:
https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-raid-increase-resync-rebuild-speed.html
To increase speed, enter:
echo value > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min
OR
sysctl -w dev.raid.speed_limit_min=value
In this example, set it to 50000 K/Sec, enter:
# echo 50000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min
But after about a few seconds, I get:
tail -f /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max
500000
tail: /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max: file truncated
500000
tail: /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max: file truncated
1000
tail: /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max: file truncated
1000
tail: /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max: file truncated
200000
I am trying to figure out what process is resetting this. Does anyone know?

I am also experiencing this issue. Slow rebuild / resync requires adjustments to the
/proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max and
/proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min values as well as others..
Why does the value keep getting reset, and by what??

Check your `dmesg` ... I had a bunch of SCSI messages for /dev/sde.. as soon as i removed that from all the raids via mdadm my speeds went back to what they should be and have not reset. Also fixed an issue I was having w/ the NAS freezing up on me.
Bad drive reported good by the NAS :(

As soon as I started the readynasd.service back up, it reset all my mdadm changes. I had to
echo 1 > /sys/block/sde/device/delete
So the device isn't reinsterted automatically (basically powers down the drive)
