Hi all! I use FreeBSD 6.2
I want to try use gmirror to constract raid5, so I do following: # dd if=/dev/zero of=zero0 bs=1024 count=102400 # dd if=/dev/zero of=zero1 bs=1024 count=102400 # dd if=/dev/zero of=zero2 bs=1024 count=102400 # mdcontrol -a -t vnode zero0 # mdcontrol -a -t vnode zero1 # mdcontrol -a -t vnode zero2 # cat /boot/propeller drive b0 device /dev/md0 drive b1 device /dev/md1 drive b2 device /dev/md2 volume propeller plex org raid5 512k sd drive b0 sd drive b1 sd drive b2 # gvinum create /boot/propeller # newfs /dev/gvinum/propeller # mount /dev/gvinum/propeller mountpoint/ This working excellent, but I want to try what can I do if some of the disk crashed? So, I do following: # gvinum rm b2 # mdcontrol -d -u md2 # dd if=/dev/zero of=zero2 bs=1024 count=102400 # mdcontrol -a -t vnode zero2 So, I see files in mountpoint, but what should I do to attach new disk /dev/md2 into raid5? Perhaps I need to use rebuildparity, but I see following line in man gvinum: All subdisks in the plex must be up for a parity check So, how can I up subdisk? # gvinum l 3 drives: D b2 State: down /dev/md2 A: 99/99 MB (100%) D b0 State: up /dev/md0 A: 0/99 MB (0%) D b1 State: up /dev/md1 A: 0/99 MB (0%) 1 volume: V propeller State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 99 MB 1 plex: P propeller.p0 R5 State: up Subdisks: 2 Size: 99 MB 2 subdisks: S propeller.p0.s0 State: up D: b0 Size: 99 MB S propeller.p0.s1 State: up D: b1 Size: 99 MB -- Sensory yours, Eugene Minkovskii Сенсорно ваш, Евгений Миньковский _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
