the main advantage I know of for bios fake-raid is that the bios can boot off either of the two mirrored boot devices. usually if the sata0 device has failed, the BIOS isn't smart enough to boot from sata1 the only other reason is if you're running MS Windows desktop which can't do mirroring on its own On Mon, Nov 16, 2020 at 10:23 AM Jonathan Billings <billings at

It isn't a hardware RAID, but instead

Hi I have a Raid 1 centos 4.4 setup and now have this /proc/mdstat output: [root at server admin]# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md2 : active raid1 hdc2[1] hda2[0] 1052160 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid1 hda3[0] 77023552 blocks [2/1] [U_] md0 : active raid1 hdc1[1] hda1[0] 104320 blocks [2/2] [UU] What happens with md1 ? My dmesg output is: [root at

dmesg is not reporting any issues. The /proc/mdstat looks fine. md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0] X blocks [2/2] [UU] however /var/log/messages says: smartd[3392] Device /dev/sda 20 offline uncorrectable sectors The machine is running fine.. raid array looks good - what is up with smartd? THanks, Jerry

Hi, I hope someone can help. Just started to play with software RAID on Centos 3.5 and was trying to simulate a faulty drive by using the -f switch on mdadm to mark the partition (drive) as faulty and I then I removed and readded the drive, which quit happily rebuilt according the /proc/mdstat and the output from the --detail switch of mdadm. After all this mucking around I shutdown the

Dear all, I'm not used to handling software raid. I've inherited a server which has raid 10 set. one of our disks failed, and it's to be replaced today. My question is; any hint how to add this new disk to the existing raid array ? first thought is :- Create identical partitions as other disks in the array i'd like to add it to.- add it to raid. Though i'm extremely worried of

I don't think this is off topic since I want to use JBOD mode so that Linux can do the RAID. I'm going to hopefully run this in CentOS 5 and Ubuntu 12.04 on a Sunfire x2250 Hard to get answers I can trust out of vendors :-) I have a Sun RAID card which I am pretty sure is LSI OEM. It is a 3G/s SAS1 with 2 external connectors like the one on the right here :

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:

I have just purchased an HP ProLiant HP ML110 G5 server and install ed CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on it. It has the following spec: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 3065 @ 2.33GHz 4GB ECC memory 4 x 250GB SATA hard disks running at 1.5GB/s Onboard RAID controller is enabled but at the moment I have used mdadm to configure the array. RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation 82801 SATA RAID Controller For a simple

Hi, I have a system with two IDE controllers running RAID1. As a test I powered down, removed one drive (hdc), and powered back up. System came up fine, so powered down installed a new drive (hdc) And powered back up. /proc/mdstat indicatd RAID1 active with hda only. I thought it would Auto add the new hdc drive... Also when I removed the new drive and added The original hdc, the swap partitions

How can I tell wich HDD to swap, when the "cat /proc/mdstat" says one HDD of the RAID1 array has died? Does the HDD's has some serial numbers, that I can see in "reality", and I can get that number from e.g.: a commands output? How could I know wich HDD to swap in e.g.: a RAID1 array? thank you -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment

Dear fellow CentOS users, I have never experienced this problem with hard disk management before and cannot explain it to myself on any rational basis. The setup: I have a workstation for testing, running latest CentOS 7.3 AMD64. I am evaluating oVirt and a storage-ha as part of my bachelors thesis. I have already been running a RAID1 (mdraid, lvm2) for the system and some oVirt 4.1 testing.

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 A server has FakeRAID installed, I want to remove it to make it mdadm driven .... If I delete the FakeRAID including - disabling it in the BIOS - removing the dmraid driver from initrd - deleting all meta data from partitions - deleting all dmraid packages is the data still available on the drives, i.e. the partitions, filesystem and files are still ok? I know that FakeRAID controller
