From 9a3152ab024867100f2f50d124b998d05fb1c3f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Brassow Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 13:28:10 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] MD RAID10: Improve redundancy for 'far' and 'offset' algorithms (part 2) MD RAID10: Improve redundancy for 'far' and 'offset' algorithms (part 2) This patch addresses raid arrays that have a number of devices that cannot be evenly divided by 'far_copies'. (E.g. 5 devices, far_copies = 2) This case must be handled differently because it causes that last set to be of a different size than the rest of the sets. We must compute a new modulo for this last set so that copied chunks are properly wrapped around. Example use_far_sets=1, far_copies=2, near_copies=1, devices=5: "far" algorithm dev1 dev2 dev3 dev4 dev5 ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== [ A B ] [ C D E ] [ G H ] [ I J K ] ... [ B A ] [ E C D ] --> nominal set of 2 and last set of 3 [ H G ] [ K I J ] []'s show far/offset sets Signed-off-by: Jonathan Brassow Signed-off-by: NeilBrown --- Reading git-format-patch failed
