dm-raid
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The device-mapper RAID (dm-raid) target provides a bridge from DM to MD.
|
|
It allows the MD RAID drivers to be accessed using a device-mapper
|
|
interface.
|
|
|
|
The target is named "raid" and it accepts the following parameters:
|
|
|
|
<raid_type> <#raid_params> <raid_params> \
|
|
<#raid_devs> <metadata_dev0> <dev0> [.. <metadata_devN> <devN>]
|
|
|
|
<raid_type>:
|
|
raid4 RAID4 dedicated parity disk
|
|
raid5_la RAID5 left asymmetric
|
|
- rotating parity 0 with data continuation
|
|
raid5_ra RAID5 right asymmetric
|
|
- rotating parity N with data continuation
|
|
raid5_ls RAID5 left symmetric
|
|
- rotating parity 0 with data restart
|
|
raid5_rs RAID5 right symmetric
|
|
- rotating parity N with data restart
|
|
raid6_zr RAID6 zero restart
|
|
- rotating parity zero (left-to-right) with data restart
|
|
raid6_nr RAID6 N restart
|
|
- rotating parity N (right-to-left) with data restart
|
|
raid6_nc RAID6 N continue
|
|
- rotating parity N (right-to-left) with data continuation

|
<#raid_params>: The number of parameters that follow.
|
|
|
|
<raid_params> consists of
|
|
Mandatory parameters:
|
|
<chunk_size>: Chunk size in sectors. This parameter is often known as
|
|
"stripe size". It is the only mandatory parameter and
|
|
is placed first.
|
|
|
|
followed by optional parameters (in any order):
|
|
[sync|nosync] Force or prevent RAID initialization.
|
|
|
|
[rebuild <idx>] Rebuild drive number idx (first drive is 0).
|
|
|
|
[daemon_sleep <ms>]
|
|
Interval between runs of the bitmap daemon that
|
|
clear bits. A longer interval means less bitmap I/O but
|
|
resyncing after a failure is likely to take longer.
|
|
|
|
[min_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization
|
|
[max_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization
|
|
[max_write_behind <sectors>] See '-write-behind=' (man mdadm)
|
|
[stripe_cache <sectors>] Stripe cache size (higher RAIDs only)
|
|
|
|
<#raid_devs>: The number of devices composing the array.
|
|
Each device consists of two entries. The first is the device
|
|
containing the metadata (if any); the second is the one containing the
|
|
data. Currently, separate metadata devices are not supported and '-'
|
|
is required in place of the metadata device.
|
|
|
|
If a drive has failed or is missing at creation time, a '-' can be
|
|
given for both the metadata and data drives for a given position.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example tables
|
|
--------------
|
|
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity
|
|
# No metadata devices specified to hold superblock/bitmap info
|
|
# Chunk size of 1MiB
|
|
# (Lines separated for easy reading)
|
|
|
|
0 1960893648 raid \
|
|
raid4 1 2048 \
|
|
5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81
|
|
|
|
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity (no metadata devices)
|
|
# Chunk size of 1MiB, force RAID initialization,
|
|
# min recovery rate at 20 kiB/sec/disk
|
|
|
|
0 1960893648 raid \
|
|
raid4 4 2048 min_recovery_rate 20 sync\
|
|
5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81
|
|
|
|
'dmsetup table' displays the table used to construct the mapping.
|
|
The optional parameters will always be printed in the order listed
|
|
above with "sync" or "nosync" always output ahead of the other
|
|
arguments, regardless of the order used when originally loading the table.
|
|
|
|
'dmsetup status' yields information on the state and health of the
|
|
array.
|
|
The output is as follows:
|
|
1: <s> <l> raid \
|
|
2: <raid_type> <#devices> <1 health char for each dev> <resync_ratio>
|
|
|
|
Line 1 is the standard output produced by device-mapper.
|
|
Line 2 is produced by the raid target, and best explained by example:
|
|
0 1960893648 raid raid4 5 AAAAA 2/490221568
|
|
Here we can see the RAID type is raid4, there are 5 devices - all of
|
|
which are 'A'live, and the array is 2/490221568 complete with recovery.
|
|
Faulty or missing devices are marked 'D'. Devices that are out-of-sync
|
|
are marked 'a'.
