* Revert "Incremental: honor --no-degraded to delay assembly"Dan Williams2010-05-261-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit fdb482f99b9ad2ef8cd1724902fdfeedaa8796a1. Now that containers can report state for ->container_enough we can automatically determine when the array can be started, and no longer need the --no-degraded hammer.

* Create: change default metadata type to 1.2NeilBrown2010-02-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Change default - again, sorry. v1.1 causes problems as the conflicts with a boot sector, whether on the whole device or in a partition. I guess the rule is they you aren't allowed to use the first sector in general. v1.2 is mostly just as good and avoid boot-sector problems so default to that instead.

The sequence .ig XX anything can go here .XX is correct and is ignored (see 'info groff' and the 'ig' index entry). However the same can be achieved with .ig anything can go there .. and this produces no warnings, so use that instead. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* | Set default bitmap-chunksize for internal bitmaps to at least 64MegNeilBrown2009-11-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A small bitmap-chunksize hurts performance without helping resync speed much - particularly on internal bitmaps. So set the default to at least 64Meg. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* | Change default metadata from 0.90 to 1.1NeilBrown2009-11-171-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1.1 is more flexible in a number of ways and is safer. 0.90 is still fully supported. 1.0 should possibly be used for RAID1 arrays that you want to boot off, depending on your boot loader. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
* | Increase default chunk size to 512KNeilBrown2009-11-171-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This seems more appropriate for current (and recent) model drives than 64K. 64K is still the default for '--build' as changing that could corrupt data. 64K is also the default rounding for 'linear' on kernels older than 2.6.16.

* | Grow: pass layout as a string rather than a number.NeilBrown2009-07-141-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows the layout to be parsed after the current level of the array is know, so that the level doesn't need to be given (otherwise pointlessly) on the command line. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

* Allow homehost to be largely ignored when assembling arrays.NeilBrown2009-05-111-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If mdadm.conf contains HOMEHOST <ignore> or commandline contains --homehost=<ignore> then the check that array metadata mentions the given homehost is replace by a check that the name recorded in the metadata is not already used by some other array mentioned in mdadm.conf. This allows more arrays to use their native name rather than having an _NN suffix added. This should only be used during boot time if all arrays required for normal boot are listed in mdadm.conf. If auto-assembly is used to find all array during boot, then the HOMEHOST feature should be used to ensure there is no room for confusion in choosing array names, and so it should not be set to <ignore>.

* Incremental: honor --no-degraded to delay assemblyDan Williams2009-02-241-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | Currently Incremental_container is being called after adding each disk. In the imsm case where spares are not tracked in the raid_disks field we can use --no-degraded to block premature assembly. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

* | Extend --wait-clean to checkpoint resyncDan Williams2008-10-151-3/+10
