ThatGraemeGuymagespawn: no, migrating from 2-disk RAID1 to 4-disk RAID10 without tearing down completely and rebuilding12:27
Kilossjoe12:33
magespawnhi charl12:42
magespawnThatGraemeGuy: does LVM just allow you to change the raid type once the disk are installed?12:42
ThatGraemeGuynot exactly12:46
ThatGraemeGuywhat i'm doing is a bit dirty12:47
ThatGraemeGuyI start with 2-disks, raid1 with lvm on top of the md device12:47
ThatGraemeGuyadd 2 disks, build a new raid10 with only 2 devices & 2 flagged as "missing"12:47
ThatGraemeGuyyes, technically this is only a raid0 at this stage12:48
ThatGraemeGuythen migrate the entire lvm vg from the old raid to the new12:48
ThatGraemeGuyremove the old raid from lvm12:48
ThatGraemeGuydisassemble the old raid, and add its partitions to the new one, replacing the "missing" devices12:49
ThatGraemeGuythe only downtime is 5 mins to add the 2 new disks, and then a quick reboot after doing some housekeeping12:49
ThatGraemeGuythe second reboot is optional but i like to do it to ensure i didn't render it unbootable12:50
ThatGraemeGuywouldn't want to realise that a few months down the line only, whenever the next reboot happens to occur12:50
ThatGraemeGuyi should also mention that the data on this server is not critical, so i'm doing this without doing a proper backup first, which would normally be a big no-no12:51
ThatGraemeGuyin fact it is one of our backup servers that i'm expanding12:51
magespawndoes the raid then use the old information/partitions to rebuild the info across the raid?12:54
ThatGraemeGuymmmm i don't understand the question :-/13:03
ThatGraemeGuyat which stage do you mean?13:03
magespawnyou have two disk with info on them and two empty disks?13:04
magespawnthe original raid 1 and the new disks?13:04
ThatGraemeGuyyes13:05
magespawnso when all the hardware is added the raid should be four disks, the two new disks mirroring the original two?13:07
ThatGraemeGuyno13:07
ThatGraemeGuyhere's a step by step, let me know where you don't follow13:07
ThatGraemeGuyi add 2 disks13:07
magespawnright13:08
ThatGraemeGuywait before that even13:08
ThatGraemeGuythe 2 original disks have 2 partitions each, a small one that is used in raid1 for /boot, and the rest another raid1 which is managed by lvm13:08
ThatGraemeGuythen i add 2 disks and partition them exactly the same13:10
ThatGraemeGuythe 2 small partitions on the new disks are added to the original raid1 that is mounted on /boot13:10
ThatGraemeGuyso now you have a raid1 with 4 devices used for /boot13:11
ThatGraemeGuyand a raid1 with 2 devices from the original disks13:11
ThatGraemeGuyare you still with me? :)13:12
magespawnyes13:13
ThatGraemeGuynow i create a new md device, raid1013:13
ThatGraemeGuyconfigured it as a 4-device md, but with 2 component devices missing13:14
ThatGraemeGuyso mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level=10 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 missing missing13:15
ThatGraemeGuyor whatvever13:15
ThatGraemeGuyso now i have a "raid10" device, which is actually only raid0 for now because of the missing devices13:16
ThatGraemeGuyfollow?13:16
magespawnyes13:16
ThatGraemeGuyright, then you do "pvcreate /dev/md2"13:16
ThatGraemeGuythen "vgextend -v vg0 /dev/md2"13:17
ThatGraemeGuyand now LVM can use the new raid for the volume group vg013:17
ThatGraemeGuystill with me?13:17
ThatGraemeGuyvg0 already existed, and was using the old raid device /dev/md113:18
magespawnright13:18
ThatGraemeGuycool13:18
ThatGraemeGuythen you do "pvmove /dev/md1 /dev/md2"13:18
ThatGraemeGuythis tells lvm to physically move the data to the new raid device13:19
magespawnneat way of doing it13:19
magespawni am going to have to play around with that a bit 13:19
ThatGraemeGuyonce that is done i tell lvm to stop using the old raid13:20
ThatGraemeGuyat that point the old raid is unused, and lvm is living completely on the new raid13:20
ThatGraemeGuythen i just stop/remove the old raid device, and add the 2 underlying partitions to the new raid10 device, and it starts rebuilding the md device13:21
bushtechThatGraemeGuy, I have often thought about taking my  2 drive Raid1 up to a 4 drive setup. Is it possible to have the OS setup separate on a small (ssd?)drive  ie a 3 drive setup? Should simplify drive management13:22
bushtechI fear my /boot drive failing13:22
ThatGraemeGuysure you can do that13:22
ThatGraemeGuyassuming you have enough sata ports, etc obviously13:23
ThatGraemeGuybut from a software perspective yes that's entirely doable13:23
bushtechAaah, good to know 13:23
bushtechThanks13:23
ThatGraemeGuynp13:23
magespawnThatGraemeGuy: thanks for the lesson13:23
ThatGraemeGuyyou're welcome13:24
bushtechyes, enough ports is an essential13:24
ThatGraemeGuyif i wasn't so lazy i'd do a nice blog post step-by-step kinda thing :-D13:24
magespawni have never worked with any type of raid, so it is good to have some insight13:24
ThatGraemeGuyinstall virtualbox and start playing around13:25
ThatGraemeGuycreate some small virtual hard disks and build raid on them13:25
magespawnthat was a bit harsh, i just asked a question no need to disconnect me13:51
ThatGraemeGuyhehe13:52
ThatGraemeGuydidn't even see the question, fwiw13:52
Kiloslol13:53
magespawnsoftware only supports com and lpt for printing, hardware only has usb for printing13:55
magespawnhow do i redirect the com to the usb?13:55
magespawnin windows13:56
ThatGraemeGuylol "in windows"13:56
ThatGraemeGuywrong channel :P13:56
