[PATCH] [RFC] dm: raid1 master device selection support

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

 



Refreshed to linux-2.6.24-rc8-mm1.

This patch generates a uevent on a device failure and does NOT process
further writes until it receives 'unblock' message. LVM or other tools
are expected to get the miror-set status upon receiving the above uevent
and record the failed device in their metadata, and then send the
'unblock' message to the dm-raid1 target.

Please comment if this is a right approach. This would help LVM select
the right master device at mirror logical volume activation/load time.
