— Rebuild Rate. Enter a number from 0 to 100 to control the rate at which a rebuild is
performed on a disk drive when one is necessary. The higher the number, the faster
the rebuild will occur. However, if a higher number is selected, the system I/O rate
may be slower.

number, the faster the patrol read occur.s However, if a higher number is selected,
the system I/O rate may be slower.
