SubjectRe: What happened with the Patch "New RAID library supporting up to six parities"
From
Date
Hi Neil,


i did a short test and it works so far. Here are my results. Let me know
if you need something more:

(TL;DR: Wonderful patch. Tested with PAR6 (= six parities) and was able to
recover from losing five disks at once.)



The patches apply against 3.14.22 and btrfs-progs 3.12 but not against the
recent 3.18-rc1 and btrfs-progs > 3.12.


root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# btrfs --version
Btrfs v3.12-dirty

root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# uname -a
Linux ubuntu-1204-build 3.14.22 #3 SMP Tue Oct 21 13:00:08 CEST 2014
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


For the tests i used a VM with 4 GB memory, two cores and 15 disks with
150 GB each. Every disk looked like this:

root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# fdisk /dev/sdi

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sdi: 157.3 GB, 157286400000 bytes

Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Metadata and data still ‚single‘? Bug? Nevermind - lets convert it:

root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# btrfs balance start -mconvert=raid1 /mnt
Done, had to relocate 4 out of 6 chunks

root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# btrfs fi df /mnt
Data, single: total=8.00MiB, used=0.00
Data, PAR6: total=9.00GiB, used=1.02GiB
System, RAID1: total=32.00MiB, used=16.00KiB
Metadata, RAID1: total=1.00GiB, used=67.83MiB

root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# btrfs balance start -dconvert=par6 /mnt
Done, had to relocate 2 out of 4 chunks

root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# btrfs fi df /mnt
Data, PAR6: total=9.00GiB, used=1.02GiB
System, RAID1: total=32.00MiB, used=16.00KiB
Metadata, RAID1: total=1.00GiB, used=68.72MiB



OK now lets see what happens if we remove on device. Save a MD5SUM before:


root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# md5sum linux-3.14.22.tar
80af37cdfb2fa2239f79597c914a8c73 linux-3.14.22.tar


(Removed one disk and replace it with a brand new, empty one)

devid 15 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path


Lets replace the faulty disk:

root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# btrfs device add /dev/sdv1 /mnt
root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# btrfs device delete missing /mnt

In /var/log/syslog:

After the ‚delete missing‘

Label: testpar6 uuid: 79d3c5e4-74ce-4464-a509-ef666dcd9073
Total devices 15 FS bytes used 31.42GiB

devid 16 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdv1


The md5 checksum is still correct:

root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# md5sum linux-3.14.22.tar
80af37cdfb2fa2239f79597c914a8c73 linux-3.14.22.tar









Hardcore test: PAR6 = 6 parities. Let´s see what happens if i remove five
disks and replace with with empty ones.

Before i did that the metadata format was converted to PAR6 as well:


root@ubuntu-1204-build:~# btrfs fi df /mnt/
Data, PAR6: total=36.00GiB, used=31.32GiB
System, PAR6: total=144.00MiB, used=16.00KiB
Metadata, PAR6: total=1.12GiB, used=101.81MiB

devid 3 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path
devid 4 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path
devid 5 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path
devid 6 size 146.48GiB used 5.00GiB path /dev/sdm1
devid 7 size 146.48GiB used 4.03GiB path /dev/sdn1
devid 8 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdo1
devid 9 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdp1
devid 10 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdq1
devid 11 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdr1
devid 12 size 146.48GiB used 4.03GiB path /dev/sds1
devid 13 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdt1
devid 14 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdu1
devid 16 size 146.48GiB used 4.00GiB path /dev/sdv1


Now let´s bring it back in shape and add five new, empty disks:

btrfs device add /dev/sdh1 /dev/sdi1 /dev/sdj1 /dev/sdk1 /dev/sdl1 /mnt
btrfs delete missing
<<wait>>

devid 18 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdi1
devid 19 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdj1
devid 20 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdk1
devid 21 size 146.48GiB used 2.14GiB path /dev/sdl1





And now the checksum:

root@ubuntu-1204-build:/mnt# md5sum linux-3.14.22.tar
80af37cdfb2fa2239f79597c914a8c73 linux-3.14.22.tar

Checksum matches!

So.. this looks *very* good to me.
