[Lustre-discuss] RAID usage?

Jon;

Found this one today and noticed no response so I thought I would give it a go.  From the manual it states to use zero partitions when possible and to deal entirely with the block device itself.  The manual also states that the creation of an external journal is recommended.  I used a separate 1TB disk for the creation of the external journal and in some instances swap space.  


Here I outline a small capable robust Configuration for under $40000.00:

** Lustre Client.  Mythtv Backend.

So there are reasons for using raid10 on specific parts of your Lustre deployment.  I had a few bad drives/sata errors on one box and raid10 saved everything.  I was able to watch the drive fail after time and finally when it died I was able to replace while still having Lustre interoperablility.  Still observing for that same box with another bad drive.  Procurring 1TB 32mb sata II drives market driven.  


Rebuild time was tolerable but from recollection less than a couple of hours.  Just one of those tasks every raided machine does once a week anyhow via the cron resync.

I haven't lost data with this layout for years and have been able to adapt, maintain and implement different technologies and updates along the way.  

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!msg/lustre-discuss-list/NfNilGsVYxA/KVCR8nixXbMJ

Would smaller disks be better?  Have you ever tried to make a large raid 5 array out of 2+TB Sata III drives?  There are some definate changes regarding the partitioning structure.  I eventually had to just let the installer do all the work for me when I made a 6TB raid 5 Lustre Backup array.  Smaller disks are easier from this perspective.  


From this base I attached all HDMI cables.  My LM7600 deploys 3d stereoscopic images and I've even take to researching the production and conversion of that medium.  Beamsplitter on the RV, lol.  The HDMI is upscaled to 4K by the Pioneer 1527K and it's all fed into a dozen KEF 101's

with 3 subs for 9.1 Stereo Sound utilizing neoX soundtracks from the newest blu rays.  Waiting on 4K OLED sets to become available.


I routinely get 90+ days of uptime on my Lustre machines and find I'm more like the Maytag guy when it comes to maintaining the network.  It is just there and for the most part enjoyable to use.  Not saying that there haven't been some challenges when everything hangs in the balance of a few keystrokes but for the most part it works period.


I would like to expand it all again with Sata III 4TB storage disks and 120 MB SSD boot drives.  Grab some 10GigE interconnect cards and plum some Bell Axia into the  house but time will tell.  Having a purpose for the storage is the best question to ask.  4x8=32TB per OST x 3 OST = 96TB linear raid.  That would be personal use future proofed with room for offering storage services.  


Perhaps the smallest clients of all are rooted androids and tablets accessing the network via apps to the SMB/NMB shared Lustre Mount.  This ties the entire configuration together even driving down the road rebooting servers or restarting apache.  Some apps like mythfrontend and mythmote are far superior to anything produced by commercial vendors for products.  Most commercial apps are chalk full of thoughtless design much like smart TV's and for the most part commercialy available PVRs.
