With this option set, a bitmap is used to keep track of which pages on the drive are out of date and then you only resync pages which need updating instead of recopying the whole drive when this happens. In the past I once added a bitmap to an existing raid1 array using something like this. This may not be the exact command, but I know it can be done: mdadm /dev/mdN --bitmap=internal_______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centosHow do you add --bitmap=internal to an existing, running RAID set? I have tried with the command above but got the following error:
try mdadm /dev/md2 -Gb internalalso it pays to have everything clean first and check you have a persistent superblock
i.e. mdadm -D /dev/md2 HTH
[r...@intranet ~]# mdadm /dev/md2 --bitmap=internal
mdadm: -b cannot have any extra immediately after it, sorry.
