I come today, hat in hand, for some suggestions on a new install with
RAID10.
I wish to install CentOS 6 on a new system.
I am using 4 identical drives, and do not see any need to partition them.
They are 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar (enterprise)drives.
I wish to use RAID10, near
Questions:
Syntax: Creating near vs far. Is there a specific syntax to use?
I *think* this is what I need:
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --run --level=10 --chunk=4 --raid-devices=4
/dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd
Next question is about mdadm versions and kernels.
CentOS 6 currently uses 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6
Is there anything in that I should beware of?
OTOH, one may get newer kernels by enabling elrepo
http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php
This will get me up to:
kernel-lt-3.0.70-1.el6.elrepo
kernel-ml-3.8.4-1.el6.elrepo
Is that desirable in this case?
Any thoughts and suggestions are most welcome..
