SyncMirror rate value does not make sense.

During volume copy i was working with the Mirror Sync rate value once again.
The value can be set from 1 to 100.
Most people would say that would be 1 to 100%.
So the value 50 would be 50% of the total available mirror sync rate speed.
But that's not true. value 50 stands for 2MB/s and 100 will be 64MB/s

Please make the selection more clearly. And give some information about the impact on the system.

    Another problem: in some situations 64 MB/s syncrate upper limit vould be not enogh. This value should be modified by the administrator, like the Remote Copy connection bandwith.
