Hi all, While I understand there can be issues with running Xen with Raid5 were domUs live on the raided partition, I''ve also read were the pvops kernal (2.6.32) has solved some issues. Is it still recommended to run Xen on no more then a mirrored set or is any one running on a Raid5 setup? Any wisdom is appreciated. - Brian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

No problem so far. Which problems should I expect ? -- Best regards Dieter -- I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software.

Hi Brian, I ran 2.6.32.16 (a few months later .18 and now .27) with RAID-0, RAID-1 and a big RAID-5 volume (all across 3 disks, RAID-1 for /boot, RAID-0 for temporary directories, Swap etc, RAID-5 for data) on three 1 TB SATA drives 24/7 without any problems. The only thing I encountered were problems with XFS; the domU crashed while I was using XFS on a RAID-0 (!) volume. All other filesystems had no problems so far, I think it is XFS-related and the XFS code has changed a lot around that time... (BTW, I did not test it again after 2.6.32.16). - Felix Am 24.02.2011 22:44, schrieb Brian Krusic:> Hi all, > > While I understand there can be issues with running Xen with Raid5 > were domUs live on the raided partition, I''ve also read were the pvops > kernal (2.6.32) has solved some issues. > > Is it still recommended to run Xen on no more then a mirrored set or > is any one running on a Raid5 setup? > > Any wisdom is appreciated. > > - Brian > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users >-- Vorstand des Desaster Games e.V.

Thanks Felix. You''re yet the third to endorse Xen+Raid. I''ll chalk up the previous older posts I''ve read in the past to old tech/bad cnfigs. - Brian> Hi Brian, > > I ran 2.6.32.16 (a few months later .18 and now .27) with RAID-0, RAID-1 > and a big RAID-5 volume (all across 3 disks, RAID-1 for /boot, RAID-0 > for temporary directories, Swap etc, RAID-5 for data) on three 1 TB SATA > drives 24/7 without any problems. > The only thing I encountered were problems with XFS; the domU crashed > while I was using XFS on a RAID-0 (!) volume.
