Hi Guoqing,
I am a little confused on this one - albeit I haven't looked at it in
detail. Why should it not be possible to start a cluster with one node?
In theory you should be able to do that, and then add nodes later?
The "nodes" means how many nodes could run with the clustered raid.
IOW, if nodes is set to 1, then we can't assemble the clustered raid in
node B after clustered raid is created in node A.
And we had provided below protection in md-cluster.c, so it doesn't make
sense to create clustered raid with "nodes = 1" since we can't use this raid
across cluster.
f (nodes < cinfo->slot_number) {
pr_err("md-cluster: Slot allotted(%d) is greater than
available slots(%d).",
cinfo->slot_number, nodes);
ret = -ERANGE;
goto err;
}
Regards,
Guoqing
