I **KNOW** how to use UUID's ... this is NOT the reason why I am doing this! I *NEED* the order of the disks to be

Hi, This is my current config: /dev/md0 -> 200 MB -> sda1 + sdd1 -> /boot /dev/md1 -> 36 GB -> sda2 + sdd2 -> form VolGroup00 with md2 /dev/md2 -> 18 GB -> sdb1 + sde1 -> form VolGroup00 with md1 sda,sdd -> 36 GB 10k SCSI HDDs sdb,sde -> 18 GB 10k SCSI HDDs I have added 2 36 GB 10K SCSI drives in it, they are detected as sdc and sdf. What should I do if I

Hi I have read instructions for udev, I also found many example on how to do this. I want to lock in the SDA/SDB/SDC for my drives and I came up with a rule like this KERNEL=="sd?", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="ST500DM002-1BC142_W2A56H8A", NAME="sda", RUN+="/usr/bin/logger ID_SERIAL=$ENV{ID_SERIAL} set to /dev/sda ",

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.

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, 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

Somewhere, mdadm is cacheing information.

So I'm trying to RAID-1 this system which has two identical disks installed in it, and it isn't working for some reason. I started by doing a CentOS-4 install on /dev/sda1 as root, and with /dev/sda2 as my swap. I finish the install, yum update, and then I want to make the mirrors. I copy the partition table from one disk to the other: # sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb I create

I have configured 2x 500G sata HDD as Software RAID1 with three partitions md0,md1 and md2 with md2 as 400+ gigs Now it is almost 36 hours the status is cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 hdb1[1] hda1[0] 104320 blocks [2/2] [UU] resync=DELAYED md1 : active raid1 hdb2[1] hda2[0] 4096448 blocks [2/2] [UU] resync=DELAYED md2 : active raid1

Hi I need some advice what to do next, even if someone tells me to check out (an)other mailing list(s), tuning site or point me in a better direction how to solve my annoying problem: one server is much faster for certain tasks although on "shitty" hardware. I have tried many things to solve my issue - changed buffer/pool/cache/etc mysqld - changed server settings apache/php -

Something seems to be wrong with my file systems, and I want to fsck everything. But I cannot. The setup consists of 2 hds, carrying 3 raid1 (ext3) file systems (boot, /, swap). OS is up-to-date CentOS 5. So I boot from CentOS 5.3 dvd in rescue mode, do not mount the file systems, and try to run fsck -y /dev/md0 fsck -y /dev/md1 fsck -y /dev/md2 For each try I get an error message:
