I started switching to raid but ran into problems
with lack of info. 3 500gb sata drives with 3 partitions each. The first 2 are
mirrored with 1 spare. That was to be for all the boot abd program files. The
second was to be swap and the third which is raid 5 is storage for recordings. I
have the recordings in use, but ran into some confusion about setting up the
boot stuff. I don't recall the exact problem, but when installing the stuff for
raid it did some kind of update, but only to the original kernal which is still
there, not to the custom built which is being used. Some the messages pointed to
things relating to using a ram disk during boot which is not suposed to be
needed when just mirroring the boot area.
I was going to also use LVM on the raid 5 part but
ext3 wasn't well supported and the other file systems didn't have the full
jernaling or something and I also want to set up samba and use some of that
space for backing up my windows computer.

Subject: Soft RAID-5 + LVM file
system corruption
Hello all,
A system question, not so VDR related, but I
hope someone in the list use the same configuration.
From time to time
my system won't boot since ext3 file system got corrupted and asks me to log
in as root and run fsck manually. No bad blocks are found, just incorrectly
stored nodes that are always fixed.
I have 3 320GByte SATA disks
partitioned to several large partitions, those partitions are configured to
software RAID-5 between disks and on those RAID-5 partitions there are 2 LVM
volumes, one for system and another for storage.
There are also 250 MByte
partition on every disk, while 2 of them are configured to software RAID-1 and
mapped to /boot.
System LVM gets corrupted more often since its used
more intensively.
Does anybody here have the same configuration? Or any
other software RAID-5 configuration?
Did anyone faced such problems? Maybe
someone facing the same problem without RAIDs?
Any help will be
appreciated.
I'm running on Fedora 10 with 2.6.27 kernel.
I had the
same problem with Fedora 8 as well.
Thanks.
Alex.
