this is complete in order to use the RAID 5 array immediately. Once booted to
the operating system, the RAID 5 array goes into initialization mode after a
delay of up to ten minutes. The advantage of this procedure is that the RAID 5
array can be used immediately, but it will not be fault tolerant until the initial-
ization is complete. The disadvantage of this is that it takes longer for the
array to become fully redundant, because it takes longer to initialize an array
than it does to write zeroes to the array.
