Configuring RAIDwith mdadm
Raid ?
Redundant Array of Inexpenisve Disks JBOD Raid 0,1,2,3,5,6 Combinations 10,0+1, etc ...
Raid0
Striping Non-redundant Focus on speed Multiple disk balance the load 1 disk broken = All data gone
Raid 1
Mirroring Data is replicated to 2 or more disks 1:1 ratio realtime backup Slow Minimum of 2 disks
Raid5
Striped set with distributed parity or interleave parity requiring 3 or more disks
Size = n disks – 1 Data is not destroyed if one disk is lost Due to parity recalculation the spare can
be rebuilt
Raid 6
Striped set with dual distributed parity Becomes more important Can recover diskfailures up to 2 drives Important while rebuilding large drives
Raid-combinations
Raid 1+0 = Mirror of striped sets (Raid10) Raid 0+1 = Striping of mirrors
Comments
RAID is NOT backup !!! Keep rsync or cold backups !
Hot spare Software Raid vs Hardware Raid Detailed information on next url :http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redundant_Array_of_Independent_Disks
Installation
Follow normal installation steps until you get to the partitioning wizard
There you choose manual partitioning
Repeat partitioning
Repeat slides 6 through 12 to complete the partitioning scheme
The result should be as the following slide
Finish MD configuration
Repeat slides 16 through 20 until you get the result on the next slide

Then select “Finish”
Finish installation
Continue finishing your installation if it were a normal one
Refer to semester 1 documentation if necessary
