Hi, I could not find any hints about hotspares with zfs. Are hotspares not possible? Thanks for this really great filesystem Willi

Hello, I need to setup a NAS server on Centos. The machine will be: Dual xeon/Dual Opteron 4GB memory 13x 320GB SATA + 1 hotspare 1x 320GB SATA for OS The server can do RAID5,6,or 10. Has anyone installed such a software and can you recommand a specific product? Thank you.

Hi, I have been trying to install CentOS 5.4 on a Intel SR1530SHS, Intel S3200SH mainboard.. It has a 3 x 1TB sata hotswap drives with LSI software raid onboard. I had configured the LSI to have Sata0 and Sata1 with raid 1 and the third drive as a hotspare drive. Format the harddisk and installation was a breeze. The server rebooted into a blank screen and the cursor just keep blinking. Please

hello folks! i've got four HP NetServers, two LC2000r and two LH6000r. the CentOS 4.2 ServerCD can't see hard drives on any of them. each machine has a HP NetRAID controller; the LC2000rs have a NetRAID-1Si and the LH6000rs have an Integrated NetRAID. each controller has three 9GB drives, two mirrored and one hotspare. each machine boots ok (the LC2000rs need "linux

I just had an IBM in a remote location with a hardware raid1 have both drives go bad. With local machines I probably would have caught it from the drive light before the 2nd one died... What is the state of the art in linux software monitoring for this? Long ago when that box was set up I think the best I could have done was a Java GUI tool that IBM had for their servers - and that seemed like

Hi, I've used mdadm for years now to manage software raids. The task of using fdisk to first create partitions on a spare drive sitting on a shelf (raid 0 were my 1st of 2 drives failed) is kind of bugging me now. After using fdisk to create the same partition layout on the new drive as is on the existing drive and then using mdadm to finish every thing up is a little tedious. Any

Can someone point me for good VRRPD (rfc2338) implementation on linux. Some stable and live project Thanks _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Heyho guys, I'm running since years glusterfs in a small environment without big problems. Now I'm going to use glusterFS for a bigger cluster but I've some questions :) Environment: * 4 Servers * 20 x 2TB HDD, each * Raidcontroller * Raid 10 * 4x bricks => Replicated, Distributed volume * Gluster 3.4 1) I'm asking me, if I can

Does anyone know what program can be used to query the RAID status from the OS for an on-board LSI SAS 2308-4i? On this page: http://docs.avagotech.com/docs/12351997 there is a curious note on the left that reads: "Integrated MegaRAID support available upon request" After one mostly fruitless round of chatting with LSI/Avago/Broadcom and one completely fruitless round of chatting

Hello fellow CentOS'ers- I've got a system running CentOS 5.0. The motherboard has two onboard SATA ports with two drives attached. I installed the system on a RAID1 setup. However, I'd like to add a hotspare disk to the array. Since there are no additional SATA ports, I've installed an additional controller. After partitioning, the additional drive was easily and successfully

I use the python script below, which I put in

Hello All I have a brand spanking new 40TB Hardware Raid6 array to play around with. I am looking for recommendations for which filesystem to use. I am trying not to break this up into multiple file systems as we are going to use it for backups. Other factors is performance and reliability. CentOS 5.6 array is /dev/sdb So here is what I have tried so far reiserfs is limited to 16TB ext4

I always(!) flash these with the IT firmware that turns them back into a

This must be resliver day :) I just had a drive failure. The hot spare kicked in, and access to the pool over NFS was effectively zero for about 45 minutes. Currently the pool is still reslivering, but for some reason I can access the file system now. Resliver speed has been beaten to death I know, but is there a way to avoid this? For example, is more enterprisy hardware less susceptible to

I physically removed a disk (c3t8d0 used by ZFS ''pool01'') from a 3310 JBOD connected to a V210 running s10u3 (11/06) and ''zpool status'' reported this: # zpool status pool: pool01 state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices could not be opened. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state. action: Attach the

Hi, everyone! I have a beginner''s question: I must configure a small file server. It only has two disk drives, and they are (forcibly) destined to be used in a mirrored, hot-spare configuration. The OS is installed and working, and rpool is mirrored on the two disks. The question is: I want to create some ZFS file systems for sharing them via CIFS. But given my limited configuration:

hi all, i would like to ask some questions regarding best practices for zfs recovery if disk errors occur. currently i have zfs boot (nv62) and the following setup: 2 si3224 controllers (each 4 sata disks) 8 sata disks, same size, same type i have two pools: a) rootpool b) datapool the rootpool is a mirrored pool, where every disk has a slice (the s0, which is 5 % of the whole disk) and this
