RAID 6:
To set unit as a Faulty one mark proper checkbox (in the column F) and click on Apply
button. To delete any unit from an array mark proper checkbox (in the column R) and
click on Remove button.
RAIDs notation:
PR - priority in array - describes priority of unit that will be added to array if another is
set to Faulty.
F - faulty - unit can be turned off from array
R - hot remove - unit can be removed from array without shutting down the system.
ST - describes state of unit in array, which can be:
A - This means that Unit is active in array
* - Number of Unit that belongs to the array
S - Spare or spare rebuilding - this means that unit is free and can be added to the array
or is free and currently is rebuilding.
Limitations:
There is no possibility to set any unit as faulty if the matrix is degraded or during
resync/rebuild.
While using RAID 1 and RAID 5 there is possibility to set just one disk from active as
faulty. This regulation is not valid for Spare units in array.
Only one disk from an Array can be set as Faulty or Removed
Function: Info
From this function you can obtain information like Creation Time, RAID Level, Array
and Device Size, Update Time and state.
During syncing or rebuilding of an array it is recommended to perform as
few disk operations as possible.
Status of syncing/rebuilding will be showed "live" - without need to refresh page
manually.
Function: Software RAID unit remove
This function allows you to remove Software RAID unit (MD[nr]).
This function is available only when no Logical Volume is created on the
appropriate MD[x] and when the unit is not re-syncing.
If you want to remove the software RAID unit with Logical Volume please use the
console Extended tools (press F1 on console to find out keyboard shortcuts) and
remove Logical Volume first.
