I am pleased to announce the availability of
mdadm version 4.0
It is available at the usual places:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
and via git at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mdadm/mdadm.git
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/mdadm/
The update in major version number primarily indicates this is a
release by it's new maintainer. In addition it contains a large
number
of fixes in particular for IMSM RAID and clustered RAID
support. In
addition this release includes support for IMSM 4k sector drives,
failfast and better documentation for journaled RAID.
Thank you for the new release. Unfortunately I get 9 failures
running the
test suite:
tests/00raid1... FAILED
tests/07autoassemble... FAILED
tests/07changelevels... FAILED
tests/07revert-grow... FAILED
tests/07revert-inplace... FAILED
tests/07testreshape5... FAILED
tests/10ddf-fail-twice... FAILED
tests/20raid5journal... FAILED
tests/10ddf-incremental-wrong-order... FAILED
Yep, several tests usually fail. It appears some checks aren't always
good. At
least the 'check' function for reshape/resync isn't reliable in my
test, I saw
07changelevelintr fails frequently.
That is my experience as well - some of them are affected by the
kernel
version too. We probably need to look into making them more reliable.
If possible, it could be a potential topic for lsf/mm raid
discussion as
Coly suggested
in previous mail.
Is current test can run the test for different raid level, say, "./test
--raidtype=raid1" could
execute all the *r1* tests, does it make sense to do it if we don't
support it now.
We could have a discussion about this at LSF/MM, if someone is willing
to sponsor getting it accepted and we can get the right people there.
Note that the test suite also allows you to run all the 01 tests by
specifying ./test 01. I do like to see the test suite improved and made
more resilient.
I'm sorry for my late response, I'm just back to work today from
vacation. In the past months, I learned and worked for cluster-md
feature,
and I have draft one test suit for cluster-md feature. please refer to
https://github.com/zhilongliu/clustermd-autotest
I'm very willing to do something for improving mdadm testing part,
also wanna improve cluster-md test suit, welcome all comments for it.
I would keep making cluster-md test scripts more and more stable, and
finally apply to integrate into mdadm test part. :-)
I'd very much like to see work to improve the test suite, so that is great.
Once you have the test suites ready, please post patches and I shall be
happy to implement them.
Please make sure to test that they don't break if people haven't built
cluster support into their kernels.
Cheers,
Jes
