Hi, Is there any real documentation out there on raidtools-0.90 and the 0.90 kernel md device driver? I was happily using my own patched version 0.36.0 and now I'm trying to upgrade. All of the raid HOWTO's and FAQ's are horribly out of date. The included documentation to the raidtools-0.90 tar is also out of date and lacking. I'm finding myself reading the source code as I go just to understand things. As an example, the raid1 personality wants a chunk size in it's configuration file. But no where is this stated in the documentation. And the examples disagree with themselves: the raidtools-0.90/raid1.conf.sample file does not have a chunk-size, but the raidtools-0.90/raidtab.sample file does I can accept that raid1 needs a chunk size, but how does the chunk-size setting effect raid1, it's not doing any striping. I'm not looking forward to reading the entire source code. I suggest that the following files be either updated or deleted from the .tar.gz archive. They will only tend to confuse people trying to use the raidtools-0.90 package. ----- HOWTO QuickStart.RAID raid0.conf.sample raid1.conf.sample raid4.conf.sample raid5.conf.sample ----- - David Harris Principal Engineer, DRH Internet Services
