What parameter doing it? The journal must be kept in memory. You have journal size 836870912 for 7 devices, that's 5858096384 bytes. If you want to reduce memory consumption, reduce the journal size. > I use this sript on boot to assemle raid: > > cd /root/local/integrity/src > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup > --integrity=crc32 --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-watermark=70 > --journal-commit-time=60000 open > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5000AADS-00S9B0_WD-WCAV90886975-part1 > integra-WCAV90886975 > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup > --integrity=crc32 --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-watermark=70 > --journal-commit-time=60000 open > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5003AZEX-00MK2A0_WD-WCC3F0SJX4T6-part1 > integra-WCC3F0SJX4T6 > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup > --integrity=crc32 --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-watermark=70 > --journal-commit-time=60000 open > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5001AALS-00J7B0_WD-WMATV7467797-part1 > integra-WMATV7467797 > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup > --integrity=crc32 --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-watermark=70 > --journal-commit-time=60000 open > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5003AZEX-00MK2A0_WD-WCC3F0YY89KN-part1 > integra-WCC3F0YY89KN > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup > --integrity=crc32 --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-watermark=70 > --journal-commit-time=60000 open > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5003AZEX-00MK2A0_WD-WCC3F5HF3NN0-part1 > integra-WCC3F5HF3NN0 > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup > --integrity=crc32 --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-watermark=70 > --journal-commit-time=60000 open > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5003AZEX-00K3CA0_WD-WCC6Y4XEA1RS-part1 > integra-WCC6Y4XEA1RS > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup > --integrity=crc32 --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-watermark=70 > --journal-commit-time=60000 open > /dev/mapper/vg--super--blue-lv--super--spare integra-spare > > cd / > > mdadm --assemble --scan > > sleep 6 > > echo 50000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min > > echo 500000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max > > echo 32768 > /sys/block/md0/md/stripe_cache_size > > And this to create: > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup -v > --sector-size=512 --integrity=crc32 --tag-size 32 > --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-size=836870912 format > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5000AADS-00S9B0_WD-WCAV90886975-part1 ##-> > ../../sda1 > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup -v > --sector-size=512 --integrity=crc32 --tag-size 32 > --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-size=836870912 format > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5003AZEX-00MK2A0_WD-WCC3F0SJX4T6-part1 ##-> > ../../sdb1 > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup -v > --sector-size=512 --integrity=crc32 --tag-size 32 > --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-size=836870912 format > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5001AALS-00J7B0_WD-WMATV7467797-part1 ##-> > ../../sdc1 > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup -v > --sector-size=512 --integrity=crc32 --tag-size 32 > --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-size=836870912 format > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5003AZEX-00MK2A0_WD-WCC3F0YY89KN-part1 ##-> > ../../sdd1 > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup -v > --sector-size=512 --integrity=crc32 --tag-size 32 > --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-size=836870912 format > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5003AZEX-00MK2A0_WD-WCC3F5HF3NN0-part1 ##-> > ../../sde1 > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup -v > --sector-size=512 --integrity=crc32 --tag-size 32 > --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-size=836870912 format > /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD5003AZEX-00K3CA0_WD-WCC6Y4XEA1RS-part1 ##-> > ../../sdf1 > > LD_PRELOAD='../lib/.libs/libcryptsetup.so.12' ./integritysetup -v > --sector-size=512 --integrity=crc32 --tag-size 32 > --buffer-sectors=414096 --journal-size=836870912 format > /dev/mapper/vg--super--blue-lv--super--spare Note that --tag-size is in bytes and it is useless to have 32 bytes for the crc32 function because crc32 returns just 4 bytes. These extra bytes just take up disk space and reduce performance. You should omit the --tag-size argument entirely - so that it defaults to the size of the crc32 function (4 bytes). Also - for better performance, use sector size 4096 (you must use filesystem block size 4096 bytes as well). It makes sense to use small sector size only if you need small filesystem block size (if you intend to use the filesystem for storing many small files). > mdadm --verbose --create /dev/md0 --bitmap=internal --bitmap-chunk=524288 -c 128 --level=6 --raid-devices=6 /dev/mapper/integra-WCAV90886975 > /dev/mapper/integra-WCC3F0SJX4T6 /dev/mapper/integra-WMATV7467797 /dev/mapper/integra-WCC3F0YY89KN /dev/mapper/integra-WCC3F5HF3NN0 /dev/mapper/integra-WCC6Y4XEA1RS > --spare-devices=1 /dev/mapper/integra-spare > > > 11.07.2017 12:52, Milan Broz ?????: > > On 07/10/2017 05:53 PM, Renesanso wrote: > > And I have other question: is it ready for production in crc32+journal > mode?

Back up your data and then you can try it :) Mikulas > Hi, > > well, there are some tests, we found and fixed some issues in 4.12-rcX > (so be sure you are using code from released 4.12.0 or later!). > > So I hope it is stable, but it would definitely need more users to test. > If you find any problem, crash or anything related to kernel code, please send > a report to the dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx list. > > Thanks, > Milan > > >
