Subject: [9fans] Mirrorarenas in p9p
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:53:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <073120081453.4828.4891D1D2000C4C1E000012DC22243429029B0A02D2089B9A019C04040A0DBF9B9D0E9A9B9C040D@att.net> (raw)
I'm running a p9p venti server under Linux using several
(small by current standards) physical drives as my arena
pool. I got a 500GB external USB drive to use as a backup
of the arenas. But here's the gotcha. The number of blocks
per cylinder on the 500GB drive isn't the same as the other
smaller drives. So, I can't create a partition that's exactly
the same size as one of the smaller drives, which means that
the last arena is a different size when I format it. mirrorarenas
complains about that and considers it fatal. I modified
it so that if the destination arena is bigger than the source,
it's just a warning and not fatal and it's happily mirroring
as we speak. But I've got a couple of questions:
- Is this going to cause any problems?
- Is there a better way to handle this?
Thanks,
BLS
