|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
1995-08-17 20:49:20 +04:00
|
|
|
driver provides the capability of combining one or more disks/partitions
|
|
|
|
into one virtual disk.

This document assumes that you're familiar with how to generate kernels,
|
1995-08-17 20:49:20 +04:00
|
|
|
how to properly configure disks and pseudo-devices in a kernel
|
|
|
|
configuration file, and how to partition disks.
|
1994-08-04 04:18:03 +04:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
1995-08-17 20:49:20 +04:00
|
|
|
Note that the
|
|
|
|
.Sq raw
|
|
|
|
partitions of the disks
|
1998-04-28 08:07:04 +04:00
|
|
|
.Pa must not
|
|
|
|
be combined.
|
|
|
|
Each component partition should be offset at least one cylinder
|
|
|
|
from the beginning of the component disk.
|
|
|
|
This avoids potential conflicts between the component disk's
|
|
|
|
disklabel and the
|
1998-02-22 10:16:07 +03:00
|
|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
1998-04-28 08:07:04 +04:00
|
|
|
disklabel.
|
|
|
|
The kernel will only allow component partitions of type
|
2000-04-05 08:03:20 +04:00
|
|
|
.Dv FS_CCD .
|
|
|
|
But for now, it allows partition of all types since some port
|
|
|
|
lacks support of an on-disk BSD disklabel.
|
|
|
|
The partition of
|
|
|
|
.Dv FS_UNUSED
|
|
|
|
may be rejected because device driver of component disk will refuse it.

|
|
|
In order to compile in support for the
|
|
|
|
.Nm "" ,
|
|
|
|
you must add a line similar
|
1995-08-17 20:49:20 +04:00
|
|
|
to the following to your kernel configuration file:
|
1994-08-04 04:18:03 +04:00
|
|
|
.Bd -unfilled -offset indent

|

In this example, no more than 4

|
|
|
may be either serially concatenated or interleaved.
|
1998-07-10 00:53:42 +04:00
|
|
|
To serially concatenate the partitions, specify the interleave factor of 0.

is interleaved correctly, a
|
|
|
|
.Dq striping
|
1998-04-28 08:07:04 +04:00
|
|
|
effect is achieved, which can increase performance.
|
2001-06-08 15:55:44 +04:00
|
|
|
The optimum interleave factor is typically the size of a track,
|
|
|
|
see
|
|
|
|
.Dq sectors/track
|
|
|
|
value in
|

.Xr disklabel 8
|
|
|
|
output.
|
1998-04-28 08:07:04 +04:00
|
|
|
Since the interleave factor is expressed in units of
|
1997-09-20 07:56:38 +04:00
|
|
|
.Dv DEV_BSIZE ,
|
|
|
|
one must account for sector sizes other than
|
|
|
|
.Dv DEV_BSIZE
|
|
|
|
in order to calculate the correct interleave.
|
1995-08-17 20:49:20 +04:00
|
|
|
The kernel will not allow an interleave factor less than the size
|
1997-09-20 07:56:38 +04:00
|
|
|
of the largest component sector divided by
|
|
|
|
.Dv DEV_BSIZE .

1997-06-21 00:42:36 +04:00

|
Note that best performance is achieved if all component disks have the same
|
1998-04-28 08:07:04 +04:00
|
|
|
geometry and size.
|
|
|
|
Optimum striping cannot occur with different disk types.

1995-08-17 20:49:20 +04:00

The concatenated disk driver was originally written at the University of Utah.
