similar to: setting up CentOS 5 with Raid10

So after troubleshooting this for about a week, I was finally able to create a raid 10 device by installing the system, copying the md modules onto a floppy, and loading the raid10 module during the install. Now the problem is that I can't get it to show up in anaconda. It detects the other arrays (raid0 and raid1) fine, but the raid10 array won't show up. Looking through the logs

Since the built in kernel doesn't have the raid10 module for some reason, I would like to custom compile a kernel that does, and install with it. How would I go about doing this? Russ

So when I couldn't get the raid10 to work, I decided to do raid5. Everything installed and looked good. I left it overnight to rebuild the array, and when I came in this morning, everything was frozen. Upon reboot, it said that 2 of the 4 devices for the raid5 array failed. Luckily, I didn't have any data on it, but how do I know that the same thing won't happen when I have

We are building an exchange cluster with two front end Outlook Web Access servers. We would like to at least have some sort of failover, and prefereably load balancing for them. The MS recommended way is to use NLB, but for various reasons that's not working with our set up. We are looking to set up a single linux server and use something like LVS to load balance/fail over the

Hi All. I have a server which uses RAID10 made of 4 partitions for / and boots from it. It looks like so: mdadm -D /dev/md1 /dev/md1: Version : 00.90 Creation Time : Mon Apr 27 09:25:05 2009 Raid Level : raid10 Array Size : 973827968 (928.71 GiB 997.20 GB) Used Dev Size : 486913984 (464.36 GiB 498.60 GB) Raid Devices : 4 Total Devices : 4 Preferred Minor : 1

I just created a 4 drive mdadm --level=raid10 on a centos 4.8-ish system here, and shortly thereafter remembreed I hadn't updated it in a while, so i ran yum update... while installing/updating stuff, got these errors: Installing: kernel ####################### [14/69] raid level raid10 (in /proc/mdstat) not recognized ... Installing: kernel-smp

We have a RHEL2 server that has had one of the drives in the raid array fail. I would like to do a full backup of the system before we replace the raided drive, in case the second drive decides to die during the procedure. What is the recommended way to back up a linux system? I was thinking of doing a snapshot, but the system is ext3 with no LVM. It has been suggested to hook up a usb

hi guys, gals do you know if conversion from lvm's raid10 to raid0 is possible? I'm fiddling with --splitmirrors but it gets me nowhere. On "takeover" subject man pages says: "..between striped/raid0 and raid10."" but no details, nowhere I could find documentation, nor a howto. many thanks, L.

Hi! The problem is that the BTRFS raid10 filesystem without any understandable cause refuses to mount. Here is dmesg output: [77847.845540] device label linux-btrfs-raid10 devid 3 transid 45639 /dev/sdc1 [77848.633912] btrfs: allowing degraded mounts [77848.633917] btrfs: enabling auto defrag [77848.633919] btrfs: use lzo compression [77848.633922] btrfs: turning on flush-on-commit [77848.658879]

Hi all, I have a question about replacing a drive in raid10 (and linux kernel 3.8.4). A bad disk was physical removed from the server. After this a new disk was added with "btrfs device add /dev/sdg /btrfs" to the raid10 btrfs FS. After this the server was rebooted and I mounted the filesystem in degraded mode. It seems that a previous started balance continued. At this point I want to

I just downloaded solaris. They have two versions, the split DVD that comes with two 1.2GB zipped chunks and an exe which is 1.2GB but uncompresses to the full 2.5+GB. I found some info on them here: http://www.nosltd.com/nosso.html Any idea how they achieve such great compression? Looks like they're using a proprietary algorithm and don't offer any downloads. Also looks like

Greetings, until yesterday I was running a btrfs filesystem across two 2.0 TiB disks in RAID1 mode for both metadata and data without any problems. As space was getting short I wanted to extend the filesystem by two additional drives lying around, which both are 1.0 TiB in size. Knowing little about the btrfs RAID implementation I thought I had to switch to RAID10 mode, which I was told is

Does anyone know of a card that actually works with CentOS 4 that supports Raid10? I don't think CentOS support software raid 10 from the installer.

We have DELL R910 with H800 adapter in it. several MD1220 connect to H800. Since MD1220 have 24 hard disks in it. When I configured RAID10, there is a choice call 'single spanned virtual disk" (22 disks). Can anyone tell me how "single spanned virtual disk" work? Any document relate to it? Thanks.

Hello! I have a 1 TB ext4 drive that''s quite full (~50 GB free space, though I could free up another 100 GB or so if necessary) and two empty 0.5 TB drives. Is it possible to get another 1 TB drive and combine the four drives to a btrfs raid10 setup without (if all goes well) losing my data?

Hello, On my system with a Intel SCU Controller and a Raid 10 System it is not possible to install this Raid10. I have tested this with a CentOS 7 and Opensuse all found my Raid but with CentOS 8 this is broken? I found on start the Installation a Error from mdadm that ist all. Now I download and Test the Stream iso? and hope ..... -- mit freundlichen Gr?ssen / best regards G?nther J,

Hi, I have a Btrfs RAID 10 (data and metadata) file system that I believe suffered a disk failure. In my attempt to replace the disk, I think that I've made the problem worse and need some help recovering it. I happened to notice a lot of errors in the journal: end_request: I/O error, dev dm-11, sector 1549378344 BTRFS: bdev /dev/mapper/Hitachi_HDS721010KLA330_GTA040PBG71HXF1 errs: wr

I have been reading lots of stuff but trying to find out if a raid10 2drive setup is any better/worse than a normal raid 1 setup....I have to 1Tb drives for my data and a seperate system drive, I am only interested in doing raid on my data... So i setup my initial test like this.... mdadm -v --create /dev/md0 --chunk 1024 --level=raid10 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 I have also read

Hello, on a fs with 4 disks, raid 10 for data, one drive was failing and has been removed. After reboot and ''mount -o degraded...'', the fs looks full, even though before removal of the failed device it was almost 80% free. root@fs0:~# df -h /mnt/b Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sde 11T 2.5T 41M 100% /mnt/b root@fs0:~# btrfs fi df /mnt/b Data,

Is there such a filesystem available? It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to implement... Basically do things on a block by block basis. Store md5 of a block in the table, and when writing a new block, check if the md5 already exists and then point the new block to the old block. Since md5 is not guaranteed unique, might need to do a diff between the 2 blocks and if the blocks are indeed
