昨天重装一台老服务器的时候发现 Intel hardware RAID 控制卡有问题,不能识别所有硬盘,但是安装操作系统过程中可以识别所有硬盘,还有一个问题就是操作系统安装正常,但是安装完后无法启动,某种原因导致 BIOS 不能从硬盘启动系统。所以打算把操作系统安装到一个 USB 盘上,然后从 USB 盘启动系统,并给上面的6块硬盘做成 Software RAID 10 后挂载到系统里用。
做 Software RAID 不要求硬盘都一模一样,但是强烈推荐用同一厂商、型号和大小的硬盘。为啥 RAID 10,不选 RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 呢?答:RAID0 太危险,RAID1 性能稍逊一些,RAID5 频繁写情况下性能差,RAID10 似乎是当今磁盘阵列的最佳选择,特别适合做 KVM/Xen/VMware 虚拟机母机(host)的本地存储系统(如果不考虑 SAN 和分布式存储的话)。
这台服务器上有6块完全相同的硬盘,给每块硬盘分成一个区,分区格式为 Linux software raid:
# fdisk /dev/sdaWARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to sectors (command 'u').Command (m for help): nCommand action e extended p primary partition (1-4)pPartition number (1-4): 1First cylinder (1-91201, default 1):Using default value 1Last cylinder, +cylinders or +size{K,M,G} (1-91201, default 91201):Using default value 91201Command (m for help): pDisk /dev/sda: 750.2 GB, 750156374016 bytes255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylindersUnits = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytesSector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytesI/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytesDisk identifier: 0x0005c259 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System/dev/sda1 1 91201 732572001 83 LinuxCommand (m for help): tSelected partition 1Hex code (type L to list codes): fdChanged system type of partition 1 to fd (Linux raid autodetect)Command (m for help): wThe partition table has been altered!Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.Syncing disks.
按照上面的 /dev/sda 的分区例子依次给剩下的5块硬盘 sdc, sdd, sde, sdf, sdg 分区、更改分区格式:
# fdisk /dev/sdc...# fdisk /dev/sdd...# fdisk /dev/sde...# fdisk /dev/sdf...# fdisk /dev/sdg...
分区完成后就可以开始创建 RAID 了,在上面的6个相同大小的分区上创建 raid10:
# mdadm --create /dev/md0 -v --raid-devices=6 --level=raid10 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1mdadm: layout defaults to n2mdadm: layout defaults to n2mdadm: chunk size defaults to 512Kmdadm: size set to 732440576Kmdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadatamdadm: array /dev/md0 started.
查看磁盘阵列的初始化过程(build),根据磁盘大小和速度,整个过程大概需要几个小时:
# watch cat /proc/mdstatEvery 2.0s: cat /proc/mdstat Tue Feb 11 12:51:25 2014Personalities : [raid10]md0 : active raid10 sdg1[5] sdf1[4] sde1[3] sdd1[2] sdc1[1] sda1[0] 2197321728 blocks super 1.2 512K chunks 2 near-copies [6/6] [UUUUUU] [>....................] resync = 0.2% (5826816/2197321728) finish=278.9min speed=130948K/secunused devices:
等阵列完成初始化后,就可以给 md0 设备创建分区和文件系统了,有了文件系统就可以挂载到系统里:
# fdisk /dev/md0# mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0p1# mkdir /raid10# mount /dev/md0p1 /raid10
修改 /etc/fstab 文件让每次系统启动时自动挂载:
# vi /etc/fstab.../dev/md0p1 /raid10 ext4 noatime,rw 0 0
在上面的 /etc/fstab 文件里使用 /dev/md0p1 设备名不是一个好办法,因为 udev 的缘故,这个设备名常在重启系统后变化,所以最好用 UUID,使用 blkid 命令找到相应分区的 UUID:
# blkid.../dev/md0p1: UUID="093e0605-1fa2-4279-99b2-746c70b78f1b" TYPE="ext4"
然后修改相应的 fstab,使用 UUID 挂载:
# vi /etc/fstab...#/dev/md0p1 /raid10 ext4 noatime,rw 0 0UUID=093e0605-1fa2-4279-99b2-746c70b78f1b /raid10 ext4 noatime,rw 0 0
查看 RAID 的情况:
