Device-mapper RAID (dm-raid) is a bridge from DM to MD. It | ||
provides a way to use device-mapper interfaces to access the MD RAID | ||
drivers. | ||
|
||
As with all device-mapper targets, the nominal public interfaces are the | ||
constructor (CTR) tables and the status outputs (both STATUSTYPE_INFO | ||
and STATUSTYPE_TABLE). The CTR table looks like the following: | ||
|
||
1: <s> <l> raid \ | ||
2: <raid_type> <#raid_params> <raid_params> \ | ||
3: <#raid_devs> <meta_dev1> <dev1> .. <meta_devN> <devN> | ||
|
||
Line 1 contains the standard first three arguments to any device-mapper | ||
target - the start, length, and target type fields. The target type in | ||
this case is "raid". | ||
|
||
Line 2 contains the arguments that define the particular raid | ||
type/personality/level, the required arguments for that raid type, and | ||
any optional arguments. Possible raid types include: raid4, raid5_la, | ||
raid5_ls, raid5_rs, raid6_zr, raid6_nr, and raid6_nc. (raid1 is | ||
planned for the future.) The list of required and optional parameters | ||
is the same for all the current raid types. The required parameters are | ||
positional, while the optional parameters are given as key/value pairs. | ||
The possible parameters are as follows: | ||
<chunk_size> Chunk size in sectors. | ||
[[no]sync] Force/Prevent RAID initialization | ||
[rebuild <idx>] Rebuild the drive indicated by the index | ||
[daemon_sleep <ms>] Time between bitmap daemon work to clear bits | ||
[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 for higher RAIDs | ||
|
||
Line 3 contains the list of devices that compose the array in | ||
metadata/data device pairs. If the metadata is stored separately, a '-' | ||
is given for the metadata device position. 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. | ||
|
||
NB. Currently all metadata devices must be specified as '-'. | ||
|
||
Examples: | ||
# 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 | ||
|
||
Performing a 'dmsetup table' should display the CTR table used to | ||
construct the mapping (with possible reordering of optional | ||
parameters). | ||
|
||
Performing a 'dmsetup status' will yield 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 standard DM output. Line 2 is best shown 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. |
