Subject:   Dell PERC scrub / scrubbing question

When I created my mirrors originally with my Dell PERC 2 controller, they
immediately started scrubbing.  The BIOS told me not to use them until
they were done scrubbing.  Fair enough.

I am now using the system regularly, and it _seems_ that every time I
reboot the computer the scrubbing starts over again.  Three questions:

1. Am I correct in this assumption ?  I know they are scrubbing, because
they say they are, but perhaps they are scrubbing for some other reason
and I just *think* it is because I rebooted ?

2. Is it dangerous to use the disks while they are scrubbing due to a
reboot, just like it was dangerous to use them while they were doing the
original scrub ?

3. It seems like performance is way down while they are scrubbing.  Am I
correct that it is, or am I just making that up ?

thanks,

PT
