I've noticed that one of the drives has "unassigned" status.
What I am trying to do is initialize two logical drives on a HP P400i embedded controller without a reboot of the system here my current Array config:
array A (SAS, Unused Space: 0 MB)
logicaldrive 1 (17.9 GB, RAID 5, OK)
logicaldrive 2 (17.9 GB, RAID 5, OK)
logicaldrive 3 (75.9 GB, RAID 5, OK)
logicaldrive 4 (25.0 GB, RAID 5, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 72 GB, OK)

A while back I created a RAID 6 array consisting of 5 2TB drives and formatted it with XFS and set up the block and stripe size appropriately.
Yesterday I added two more 2TB drives to the array and it is almost done reshaping the array. While running that I realized that XFS is optimized for the number of drives, and so far as I can tell there is no way to change that after the fact.
Hi all, sorry if this is in the wrong forum (wasn't sure if it should be in Software or not), anyways...
I have recently reinstalled Fedora with a new partition structure. I have 4x 1.5 TB HDDs and the majority of the space forms RAID 5 array. However, because of my previous install /boot, /home and / were also on these drives and the new install these are on a NEW hard drive.
I have a raid 5 array constructed of three partitions, one of which is another array. This array should be assembled during boot so that it can be mounted and other services can access the mounted data.
I have a p410i array controller that only has 256ram. We want to create a raid 5 so we have procured a 512 write back cache module.
If we install the write back cache, will this erase the existing raid information.
The server currently has 2 disks in raid 1. 6 are spare waiting for an upgrade to create a raid 5.
I have:
Openfiler SAN
ML370 G5
Smart Array 6400
slot 1
Array B
Logical Drive 2 is a RAID5 array of 6 x 148GB 10k hot plug drives making 680GB
no spare
Last Friday, the power went out, this machine was just plugged in to the wall and it went down hard. When it came back up, drive 1 and 4 of 0-5 drive changed to red flashing Fault light.
Currently, I have 4 hard disks which have been configured as RAID 1+0 in HP Proliant 380 G7, SmartArray p410i. I am planning to buy other new 8 hard disks to replace old array by swapping the disks out and keep the old array as backup. I also make full backup and I will use this backup to restore to new 8 hard disk array.
Hello
This morning we encountered a failure in our Raid-5 array and the server won't boot. Our datacenter told us the array and the disks need to be replaced as they are damaged.
I'm looking for someone who can help me to get some backups out from this server.
