Hi all
I have a test vm on which I do some testing of md raid. Just tried
root@raidtest:~# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/vd{b..d}
(wait a bit)
root@raidtest:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
md0 : active raid5 vdf[5](S) vde[4](S) vdd[3] vdc[1] vdb[0]
4191232 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/3] [UUU]
ok, raid's up, but checking the data actually stored on disk on the host system shows:
root@smilla:/raid/libvirt/images# ls -l raidtest-{1..3}.qcow2
-rw-r--r-- 1 libvirt-qemu kvm 393216 Feb 7 18:06 raidtest-1.qcow2
-rw-r--r-- 1 libvirt-qemu kvm 393216 Feb 7 18:06 raidtest-2.qcow2
-rw-r--r-- 1 libvirt-qemu kvm 2146500608 Feb 7 18:06 raidtest-3.qcow2
Does this mean the raid-5 is actually initiated as a raid-4?
Vennlige hilsener / Best regards
roy

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med xenotyp etymologi. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
