what is RAID "background initialization" ??

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



we have DELL server (CENTOS 4.X) with MD1000 connect on it.  One of Raid5 (internal 4 disks) has hard disk bad and I replace it.  I saw /var/log/messages have following entry:
=======================================Aug 18 15:33:20 host1 Server Administrator: Storage Service EventID: 2049  Array disk removed:  Array Disk 0:11 Controller 1, Connector 0Aug 18 15:34:09 host1 Server Administrator: Storage Service EventID: 2052  Array disk inserted:  Array Disk 0:11 Controller 1, Connector 0Aug 18 15:34:09 host1 Server Administrator: Storage Service EventID: 2065  Array disk Rebuild started:  Array Disk 0:11 Controller 1, Connector 0Aug 19 00:42:58 host1 Server Administrator: Storage Service EventID: 2124  Redundancy normal:  Virtual Disk 0 (Virtual Disk 0) Controller 1 (PERC 4e/DC)Aug 19 00:42:58 host1 Server Administrator: Storage Service EventID: 2092  Array disk Rebuild completed:  Array Disk 0:11 Controller 1, Connector 0Aug 19 00:45:53 host1 Server Administrator: Storage Service EventID: 2127  Background Initialization started:  Virtual Disk 0 (Virtual Disk 0) Controller 1 (PERC 4e/DC)
=============================================
My questions are:
1. why after "disk rebuild" there have "background initialization"?
2. is all kind of configuration (e.g. RAID0, RAID10, ...) need perform "background initialization"?
3. if I run heavy application, will it hurt "background initialization" and "disk rebuild"?
Thanks.
