similar to: md raid1 - no speed improvement

I just installed CentOS 5.4 64 bit release on a 1.9ghz CPU with 8gB of RAM. It has 2 Western Digital 1.5TB SATA2 drives in RAID1.

I am running software RAID1 on a somewhat critical server. Today I noticed one drive is giving errors. Good thing I had RAID. I planned on upgrading this server in next month or so. Just wandering if there was an easy way to fix this to avoid rushing the upgrade? Having a single drive is slowing down reads as well, I think. Thanks.

Hello, I have two disks sda and sdb. One of the was broken so I have changed the broken disk with a working one. I started the server in rescue mode, and created the partional table, and added all the partitions to the software raid. *I have added the partitions to the RAID, and reboot.* # mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdb1 # mdadm /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb2 # mdadm /dev/md2 --add /dev/sdb3 # mdadm

Hello Everyone I have a remote CentOS 6.4 server (with KVM access), when I received the server it was running with LVM on single disk (sda) I managed to remove LVM and install raid 1 in sda and sdb disks the mirroring is working fine, my only issue now is that everytime I reboot the server I got the grub command line and I have manually boot using comand grub> configfile

Hi All, I'm currently trying to install centos 5.4 x86-64bit on a raid 1, so if one the 2 disks fails the server will still be available. i installed grub on /dev/sda using the advanced grub configuration option during the install. after the install is done i boot in linux rescue mode , chroot the filesystem and copy grub to both drives using: grub>root (hd0,0) grub>setup (hd0)

Hi, I have 2 identical xSeries 346 with 2 identical IBM 72GB scsi drive. What i did is install the centos 4.2 serverCD on the first IBM and set the HDD to raid1 and raid0 for swap. Now what i did is get the 2nd HDD in the 1st Server swap it with the 1st HDD in the 2nd Server and rebuild the Raids. The 1st server rebuild the array fine. My problem is the Second server, after rebuilding it and

Hi list, I'm new with UEFI and GPT. For several years I've used MBR partition table. I've installed my system on software raid1 (mdadm) using md0(sda1,sdb1) for swap, md1(sda2, sdb2) for /, md2 (sda3,sdb3) for /home. From several how-to concerning raid1 installation, I must put each partition on a different md devices. I've asked times ago if it's more correct create the

Hi Niki, md127 apparently only uses 81.95GB per disk. Maybe one of the partitions has the wrong size. What's the output of lsblk?

Greetings - Ok, I have my CentOS 7 KVM host system installed and I want to be able to boot the system from either installed drive if one of them fails.

Hello, yesterday night I had a problem with my server located at a hoster (strato.de). I couldn't ssh to it and over the remote serial console I saw "out of memory" errors (sorry, don't have the text). Then I had reinstall CentOS 5.5/64 bit + all my setup (2h work), because I have a contract with a social network and they will shut down my little card game if it is not

Hi All, I have what I believe to be a pretty basic LVM & RAID setup on my CentOS 5 machine: Raid Partitions: /dev/sda1,sdb1 /dev/sda2,sdb2 /dev/sda3,sdb3 During the install I created a RAID 1 volume md0 out of sda1,sdb1 for the boot partition and then added sda2,sdb2 to a separate RAID 1 volume as well (md1). I then setup md1 as a LVM physical volume for volume group 'system'. I

Hi, I have a RAID 1 (using mdadm) on CentOS Linux and in /proc/mdstat I see this: md7 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1] 26627648 blocks [2/2] [UU] [-->> it's OK] md1 : active raid1 sdb3[1] sda3[0] 4192896 blocks [2/2] [UU] [-->> it's OK] md2 : active raid1 sda5[0] sdb5[1] 4192832 blocks [2/2] [UU] [-->> it's OK] md3 : active raid1 sdb6[1] sda6[0] 4192832 blocks [2/2]

Hi, I just replaced Slackware64 14.1 running on my office's HP Proliant Microserver with a fresh installation of CentOS 7. The server has 4 x 250 GB disks. Every disk is configured like this : * 200 MB /dev/sdX1 for /boot * 4 GB /dev/sdX2 for swap * 248 GB /dev/sdX3 for / There are supposed to be no spare devices. /boot and swap are all supposed to be assembled in RAID level 1 across
