Highlights:
- "experimental" code for managing md/raid1 across a cluster using
DLM. Code is not ready for general use and triggers a WARNING if used.
However it is looking good and mostly done and having in mainline
will help co-ordinate development.
- RAID5/6 can now batch multiple (4K wide) stripe_heads so as to
handle a full (chunk wide) stripe as a single unit.
- RAID6 can now perform read-modify-write cycles which should
help performance on larger arrays: 6 or more devices.
- RAID5/6 stripe cache now grows and shrinks dynamically. The value
set is used as a minimum.
- Resync is now allowed to go a little faster than the 'mininum' when
there is competing IO. How much faster depends on the speed of the
devices, so the effective minimum should scale with device speed to
some extent.

This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one

logical block device. This can be used to simply append one

partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks

into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard
|
|
disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of

the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the

|
|
---help---
|
|
This device-mapper target creates a device that supports an arbitrary
|
|
mapping of fixed-size regions of I/O across a fixed set of paths.
|
|
The path used for any specific region can be switched dynamically
|
|
by sending the target a message.

To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will

be called dm-switch.

If unsure, say N.

tristate "Log writes target support"
|
|
depends on BLK_DEV_DM
|
|
---help---
|
|
This device-mapper target takes two devices, one device to use
|
|
normally, one to log all write operations done to the first device.
|
|
This is for use by file system developers wishing to verify that
|
|
their fs is writing a consitent file system at all times by allowing
|
|
them to replay the log in a variety of ways and to check the
|
|
contents.
|
|
|
|
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will
|
|
be called dm-log-writes.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, say N.
