I'd like to run a series of fio-based performance tests on a few drives in various RAID and non-RAID configurations. When assembling drives in RAID5, the rebuild process takes an incredibly long time (6TB HDD). Since I'm going to completely overwrite the disks as part of the performance tests (or at least all the sectors I plan on reading), is there any way I can configure mdadm to not bother rebuilding the parity and just calculate parity the next time the sector is written?
