Greetings all;
As usual, the man page may as well be written in swahili. The NDE
syndrome, meaning No D-----d Examples.
I have those 2 2T SSD's with a gpt partition table on both, allocated as
sdc1 and sdk1, formatted to ext4, named and labeled as lvm1 and lvm2.
Temp mounted as sdc1 and sdk1 to /mnt/lvm1 and /mnt/lvm2
How do I create a single managed volume of labels lvm1 and lvm2 of these
to make a single volume that I can then rsynch /home to it, then switch
fstab to mount it as /home on a reboot?
If it works, I'll kill the raid10, reformat it and make it another lvm
for amanda to use.
I am determined to remove the raid10 /home from the list of suspects
causing my system lockups anytime a program such as OpenSCAD or digiKam,
even firefox wants to write a new file to my /home partition. This
delay does not lockup the whole shebang, already open files in other
workspaces seem to run at normal speeds, but opening a simple gui file
requester to get where to put the file, and possibly rename it, takes
anywhere from 30 seconds minimum to around 5 minutes just to draw the
requester on screen. And while you are waiting, wondering if you even
pressed the mouse button, there is ZERO acknowledgement the button has
been pushed. The mouse can be moved normally, but until the requester
is fully drawn on screen, no other button clicks are registered.
This software raid10 worked perfectly for buster and bullseye, but its
been nothing but a headache on bookworm. And only one has tried to
help, suggesting strace, but its output is so copious it overflows the
32G of main memory in this machine so I can't go back to the actual
programs start with the trace. I have used it in the past, decade or
more back up the log, and while it was noisy then, this is unusable.
Thanks for help with dmsetup.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
Not LVM, but FWIW I previously had my data on 2 @ 1.5 TB HDD md RAID1
