Part III Software RAID

  
  • 7 Software RAID Configuration

  • 8 Configuring Software RAID for the Root Partition

  • 9 Creating Software RAID 10 Devices

  • 10 Creating a Degraded RAID Array

    • A degraded array is one in which some devices are missing. Degraded arrays are supported only for RAID 1, RAID 4, RAID 5, and RAID 6. These RAID types are designed to withstand some missing devices as part of their fault-tolerance features. Typically, degraded arrays occur when a device fails. It is possible to create a degraded array on purpose.

  • 11 Resizing Software RAID Arrays with mdadm

    • This section describes how to increase or reduce the size of a software RAID 1, 4, 5, or 6 device with the Multiple Device Administration (mdadm(8)) tool.

  • 12 Storage Enclosure LED Utilities for MD Software RAIDs

    • Storage enclosure LED Monitoring utility (ledmon) and LED Control (ledctl) utility are Linux user space applications that use a broad range of interfaces and protocols to control storage enclosure LEDs. The primary usage is to visualize the status of Linux MD software RAID devices created with the mdadm utility. The ledmon daemon monitors the status of the drive array and updates the status of the drive LEDs. The ledctl utility allows you to set LED patterns for specified devices.
