Linux中使用mdadm创建与管理软raid

[编辑]mdadm的几个常用参数

-C 创建Raid,后面跟参数,代表raid设备的名称。比如:/dev/md0,/dev/md1。

-n 用于创建磁盘阵列的磁盘个数。

-l Raid的级别。

-x 指定用于hotspare(热备盘)的磁盘个数。如果阵列中有一块硬盘坏了,它会立刻顶上,并rebuild;

-D 显示软raid的详细信息;

-s 扫描配置文件(/etc/mdadm.conf)或'/proc/mdstat'来查看遗漏的信息f;

[编辑]创建软raid的大体流程

使用fdisk工具为新磁盘创建分区;

使用mkfs.XXXX工具将刚才划分好的分区格式化成某种格式的文件系统。比如:ext3,reiserfs等;

使用mdadm来创建软raid;

创建/etc/mdadm.conf文件(注意文件的格式,包括是否有逗号等等。该文件是为了系统在重启后能够自动启用软raid。可以查看/etc/rc.sysinit脚本,搜索'mdadm'字符串就明白了);

[编辑]示例:创建软raid5(+hotspare)

以下是我的一次实际操作的完整过程:

这是用'fdisk -l'命令查看到的我当前的磁盘和分区情况(只有/dev/sda在使用,其它四个都是新磁盘,没有分区,没有格式化):

# fdisk -lDisk /dev/sda: 6442 MB, 6442450944 bytes255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 783 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System/dev/sda1   *           1         720     5783368+  83  Linux/dev/sda2             721         783      506047+  82  Linux swapDisk /dev/sdb: 214 MB, 214748160 bytes64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 204 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytesDisk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition tableDisk /dev/sdc: 214 MB, 214748160 bytes64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 204 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytesDisk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition tableDisk /dev/sdd: 214 MB, 214748160 bytes64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 204 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytesDisk /dev/sdd doesn't contain a valid partition tableDisk /dev/sde: 214 MB, 214748160 bytes64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 204 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytesDisk /dev/sde doesn't contain a valid partition table

使用fdisk创建分区(本例中将整块磁盘划分为一个主分区。其余几块磁盘也做相同的操作。):

# fdisk /dev/sdbDevice contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabelBuilding a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previouscontent won't be recoverable.Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)Command (m for help): nCommand action   e   extended   p   primary partition (1-4)pPartition number (1-4): 1First cylinder (1-204, default 1):Using default value 1Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-204, default 204):Using default value 204Command (m for help): wThe partition table has been altered!Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.Syncing disks.

为刚才新建的分区建立文件系统(其余几个分区依次做相同的操作):

# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)Filesystem label=OS type: LinuxBlock size=1024 (log=0)Fragment size=1024 (log=0)52416 inodes, 208880 blocks10444 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super userFirst data block=1Maximum filesystem blocks=6737100826 block groups8192 blocks per group, 8192 fragments per group2016 inodes per groupSuperblock backups stored on blocks:        8193, 24577, 40961, 57345, 73729, 204801Writing inode tables: doneCreating journal (4096 blocks): doneWriting superblocks and filesystem accounting information: doneThis filesystem will be automatically checked every 37 mounts or180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

所有磁盘都操作完后,再次用'fdisk -l'查看磁盘及分区状态:

# fdisk -lDisk /dev/sda: 6442 MB, 6442450944 bytes255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 783 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System/dev/sda1   *           1         720     5783368+  83  Linux/dev/sda2             721         783      506047+  82  Linux swapDisk /dev/sdb: 214 MB, 214748160 bytes64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 204 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System/dev/sdb1               1         204      208880   83  LinuxDisk /dev/sdc: 214 MB, 214748160 bytes64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 204 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System/dev/sdc1               1         204      208880   83  LinuxDisk /dev/sdd: 214 MB, 214748160 bytes64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 204 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System/dev/sdd1               1         204      208880   83  LinuxDisk /dev/sde: 214 MB, 214748160 bytes64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 204 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System/dev/sde1               1         204      208880   83  Linux

使用mdadm创建一个软raid,raid级别:5;并有一个hotspare盘:

# mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l5 -n3 -x1 /dev/sd[b-e]1mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.

输出信息显示软raid(/dev/md0)已经启用了。使用mdadm的-D参数(--detail)可以查看软raid状态:

# mdadm -D /dev/md0/dev/md0:        Version : 00.90.01  Creation Time : Wed Aug 23 15:10:19 2006     Raid Level : raid5     Array Size : 417536 (407.75 MiB 427.56 MB)    Device Size : 208768 (203.88 MiB 213.78 MB)   Raid Devices : 3  Total Devices : 4Preferred Minor : 0    Persistence : Superblock is persistent    Update Time : Wed Aug 23 15:10:21 2006          State : clean Active Devices : 3Working Devices : 4 Failed Devices : 0  Spare Devices : 1         Layout : left-symmetric     Chunk Size : 64K    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State       0       8       17        0      active sync   /dev/sdb1       1       8       33        1      active sync   /dev/sdc1       2       8       49        2      active sync   /dev/sdd1       3       8       65       -1      spare   /dev/sde1           UUID : f8283de5:39c73d89:b9fbc266:fdceb416         Events : 0.2

生成配置文件(/etc/mdadm.conf):

# mdadm -D -s >/etc/mdadm.conf
