I don't think the OP has posted any hard numbers on the I/O performance he is getting, nor exact specifics of his RAID setup (connection type, RAID blocksize, etc.) Without all that it's hard to solve his problem.

Hi,
Does solaris support the XFS file sytems?
If so, how can I mount a shared directory from another machine (which is using XFS)?

Gidday,
Are you using ext4 for production system? Or is it better to opt for a more
conservative strategy, like ext3 for instance?
What are your experiences?
Thanks in advance,

Hi!
I created filesystem XFS on partition hda8 with subvolume real-time on partition hda5:
mkfs.xfs -r rtdev=/dev/hda5 /dev/hda8 and i mounted it:
mount -t xfs -o rtdev=/dev/hda5 /dev/hda8 /xfs
But I don't know how can I use this partition hda5 with subvolume real-time. I don't know how to... (3 Replies)

Hey everyone. I am in the process of setting up an iSCSI SAN to function as a log storage device for a number of servers. All of the initiators see the volume, and originally I formatted it with ext3 and went on my merry way. However after some research I'm having concerns that I should nuke the... (1 Reply)

Hello,
we got a MD3000i used as a network share between two servers (say A and B). The problem we are facing is that file/directories created by server A are not visible on server B (and viceversa). It's not a problem with permission (chmod 777 doesn't help).
The MD3000i was at first used ony... (0 Replies)

Hey everyone.
I am going to be using XFS for a project coming up. We're running RHEL 5.5. Simply typing

Is there a major reason to... (0 Replies)

Is there any way to conver ext4 to ext3 filesystem without formatting the partition/disk ..
Had ext3 filesystem and had converted it to ext4 by issuing following command

# fsck -pf /dev/sda1
# blkid /dev/sda1

I have a RHEL6 VM that requires the use of remote storage using iSCSI and XFS for the mount point. Here's the issue:
With XFS you can't use the _netdev option for your mount point (pause for network) so my mount point doesn't mount properly because the network isn't up yet. I've moved the... (3 Replies)

vxr5check
vxr5check(1M) vxr5check(1M)
NAME
vxr5check - verify RAID-5 volume parity
SYNOPSIS
/etc/vx/bin/vxr5check [-i | -v] [-g diskgroup] volume
DESCRIPTION
The vxr5check utility compares the parity of each stripe of a RAID-5 volume specified by volume. vxr5check reads the data for each stripe,
generates the parity for this stripe, and compares this parity with the existing parity.
vxr5check can be run against the entire RAID-5 volume, or incrementally on RAID-5 stripe boundaries, by specifying the -i option.
OPTIONS
-g diskgroup
Specifies the Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) disk group name for the RAID-5 volume name for verification. If this option is not
specified, the default disk group is determined using the rules given in the vxdg(1M) manual page.
-i Verifies the RAID-5 volume incrementally per stripes. If a parity mismatch is found, that stripe location is displayed.
-v Verbose output for the incremental vxr5check verification. The verbose option outputs each stripe number that is being verified.
OUTPUT FORMAT
In verbose mode and incremental mode, summary reports for each stripe of the RAID-5 volume are printed in output records. If an error is
returned for a stripe, then an error message and stripe number are displayed. In non-verbose mode, if an error is returned, an error mes-
sage is displayed.
If a parity mismatch error is determined on a stripe, vxr5check exits on that stripe and does not continue for the remaining stripes in the
RAID-5 volume.
FILES
/usr/lib/vxvm/bin/vxr5vrfy The utility that vxr5check calls to perform RAID-5 parity verification operations for the specified RAID-5
volume.
EXIT CODES
The vxr5check utility exits with a non-zero status if the attempted operation fails. A non-zero exit code is not a complete indicator of
the problems encountered, but rather denotes the first condition that prevented further execution of the utility.
See vxintro(1M) for a list of standard exit codes.
NOTES
Do not run vxr5check on a volume that is in degraded mode.
