?? Allow -S /dev/md? - current complains subsequent not a/d/r
* new "Query" mode to subsume --detail and --examine.
--query or -Q, takes a device and tells if it is an MD device,
and also tells in a raid superblock is found.
* write proc.c to parse /proc/mdstat file, and maybe /proc/partitions too.
Build list of arrays: name, rebuild-percent
* --detail --scan to read mdadm.conf, and then iterate over these,
but assume --brief. --verbose can override
check each subdevice to see if it is in conf_get_devs.
Warn if not.
* Support multipath ... maybe...
* --follow to syslog
* --follow to move spares around
* --follow to notice other events:
rebuild started
spare activated
spare removed
spare added
------------------------------------
- --examine --scan scans all drives and build an mdadm.conf file DONE
- check superblock checksum in examine DONE
- report "chunk" or "rounding" depending on raid level DONE
- report "linear" instead of "-1" for raid level DONE
- decode ayout depending on raid level DONE
- --verbose and --force flags. DONE
- set md_minor, *_disks for Create - DONE
- for create raid5, how to choose between
all working, but not insync
one missing, one spare, insync DONE (--force)
- and for raid1 - some failed drives... (missing)
- when RUN_ARRAY, make sure *_disks counts are right
- get --detail to extract extra stuff from superblock,
like uuid DONE
- --detail --brief to give a config file line DONE
- parse config file. DONE
- test...
- when --assemble --scan, if an underlying device is an md device,
then try to assemble that device first.
- mdadm -S /dev/md0 /dev/md1 gives internal error FIXED
- mdadm --detail --scan print summary of what it can find?
---------
Assemble doesn't add spares. - DONE
Create to allow "missing" name for devices.
Create to accept "--force" for do exactly what is requested
- get Assemble to upgrade devices if force flag.
ARRAY lines in config file to have super_minor=n
ARRAY lines in config file to have device=pattern, and only accept
those devices
If UUID given, insist on that
If not, but super_minor given, require all found with that minor
to have same uuid
If only device given, all valid supers on those devices must have
same uuid
allow /dev/mdX as first argument before any options
Possible --dry-run option for create and assemble--force
Assemble to check that all devices mentioned in superblock
are present.
New mode: --Monitor (or --Follow)
Periodically check status of all arrays (listed in config file).
Log every event and apparent cause - or differences
Email and alert - or run a program - for important events
Move spares around if necessary.
An Array line can have a spare-group= field that indicates that
the array shares spares with other arrays with the same
spare-group name.
If an array has a failed and no spares, then check all other
arrays in the spare group. If one has no failures and a spare,
then consider that spare.
Choose the smallest considered spare that is large enough.
If there is one, then hot-remove it from it's home, and
hot-add it to the array in question.
--mail-to address
--alert-handler program
Will also extract information from /proc/mdstat if present,
and consider 20% marks in rebuild as events.
Events are:
drive fails - causes mail to be sent
rebuild started
spare activated
spare removed
spare added
