This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one
|
|
logical block device. This can be used to simply append one
|
|
partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks
|
|
into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard
|
|
disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of
|
|
the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the
|
|
combining is done by a dedicated controller; if you have such a
|
|
controller, you do not need to say Y here.

If you say Y here, then your multiple devices driver will be able to

use the so-called raid0 mode, i.e. it will combine the hard disk

partitions into one logical device in such a fashion as to fill them

up evenly, one chunk here and one chunk there. This will increase
|
|
the throughput rate if the partitions reside on distinct disks.

|

A RAID-1 set consists of several disk drives which are exact copies
|
|
of each other. In the event of a mirror failure, the RAID driver
|
|
will continue to use the operational mirrors in the set, providing
|
|
an error free MD (multiple device) to the higher levels of the
|
|
kernel. In a set with N drives, the available space is the capacity
|
|
of a single drive, and the set protects against a failure of (N - 1)
|
|
drives.

---help---
|

RAID-10 provides a combination of striping (RAID-0) and
|
|
mirroring (RAID-1) with easier configuration and more flexible
|
|
layout.
|
|
Unlike RAID-0, but like RAID-1, RAID-10 requires all devices to
|
|
be the same size (or at least, only as much as the smallest device
|
|
will be used).
|
|
RAID-10 provides a variety of layouts that provide different levels
|
|
of redundancy and performance.
|
|
|
|
RAID-10 requires mdadm-1.7.0 or later, available at:

A RAID-5 set of N drives with a capacity of C MB per drive provides
|
|
the capacity of C * (N - 1) MB, and protects against a failure
|
|
of a single drive. For a given sector (row) number, (N - 1) drives
|
|
contain data sectors, and one drive contains the parity protection.
|
|
For a RAID-4 set, the parity blocks are present on a single drive,
|
|
while a RAID-5 set distributes the parity across the drives in one
|
|
of the available parity distribution methods.
|
|
|
|
A RAID-6 set of N drives with a capacity of C MB per drive
|
|
provides the capacity of C * (N - 2) MB, and protects
|
|
against a failure of any two drives. For a given sector
|
|
(row) number, (N - 2) drives contain data sectors, and two
|
|
drives contains two independent redundancy syndromes. Like
|
|
RAID-5, RAID-6 distributes the syndromes across the drives
|
|
in one of the available parity distribution methods.

---help---
|
|
A RAID-5 set can be expanded by adding extra drives. This
|
|
requires "restriping" the array which means (almost) every
|
|
block must be written to a different place.
|
|
|
|
This option allows such restriping to be done while the array
|
|
is online.
|
|
|
|
You will need mdadm version 2.4.1 or later to use this
|
|
feature safely. During the early stage of reshape there is
|
|
a critical section where live data is being over-written. A
|
|
crash during this time needs extra care for recovery. The
|
|
newer mdadm takes a copy of the data in the critical section
|
|
and will restore it, if necessary, after a crash.
|
|
|
|
The mdadm usage is e.g.
|
|
mdadm --grow /dev/md1 --raid-disks=6
|
|
to grow '/dev/md1' to having 6 disks.
|
|
|
|
Note: The array can only be expanded, not contracted.
|
|
There should be enough spares already present to make the new
|
|
array workable.
