XenServer 6.5 mdadm 创建软 raid5 失败的解决方案 unexpected failure opening /dev/md0

之前在 XenServer 6.2 下用的挺好的软 raid5，重装了系统到 XenServer 6.5 版，不认 raid5 了，用 mdadm 重新创建，错误提示如下：

[root@vms-67 ~]# mdadm --create --verbose  /dev/md0 -l 5 -n 3 -x 0 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
mdadm: layout defaults to left-symmetric
mdadm: layout defaults to left-symmetric

       meaningless after creating array

mdadm: unexpected failure opening /dev/md0

经过百度，找不到有关“unexpected failure”的任何记录，于是猜想了各种可能，测试了半天，无论创建多少分区，多大容量，问题依旧，没办法。。。。。看来这类问题还要问谷歌，于是立即发现解决方案如下：

XenServer 6.5 do not load soft raid kernel modules on boot. (See comments by Roland Monday on this article).
 
My solution is:
1. Create file /etc/sysconfig/modules/raid.modules with needed modules
# echo "modprobe raid1" > /etc/sysconfig/modules/raid.modules
you can add lines for another raid level (raid0 or raid10 for example)
 
2. Make this file executable
# chmod +x /etc/sysconfig/modules/raid.modules
 
3. Reboot.
 
PS: I do not know will this changes survive after installing patches

原来 XenServer 6.5 启动时没有自动加载 raid 模块，按照上面的步骤，将 raid5 加入 /etc/sysconfig/modules/raid.modules ，重启后搞定：

 

[root@vms-67 ~]# mdadm --create --verbose  /dev/md0 -l 5 -n 3 -x 0 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
mdadm: layout defaults to left-symmetric
mdadm: layout defaults to left-symmetric
mdadm: chunk size defaults to 512K
mdadm: /dev/sdb1 appears to be part of a raid array:
    level=raid5 devices=3 ctime=Tue Aug 10 20:46:13 2010
mdadm: partition table exists on /dev/sdb1 but will be lost or
       meaningless after creating array
mdadm: /dev/sdc1 appears to be part of a raid array:
    level=raid5 devices=3 ctime=Tue Aug 10 20:46:13 2010
mdadm: partition table exists on /dev/sdc1 but will be lost or
       meaningless after creating array
mdadm: /dev/sdd1 appears to be part of a raid array:
    level=raid5 devices=3 ctime=Tue Aug 10 20:46:13 2010
mdadm: partition table exists on /dev/sdd1 but will be lost or
       meaningless after creating array
mdadm: size set to 976628736K
Continue creating array? yes
mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata
mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.

查看建立进度：

[root@vms-67 ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid5 sdd1[3] sdc1[1] sdb1[0]
      1953257472 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [3/2] [UU_]
      [>....................]  recovery =  0.1% (1687840/976628736) finish=144.3min speed=112522K/sec

unused devices: <none>

一切搞定，等待同步完成吧。

最后一步，别忘了生成配置文件（/etc/mdadm.conf），否则重启后查看 raid 又没了，我第一次重启就犯了这个错误。。。：

# mdadm -D -s >/etc/mdadm.conf

 

总结：搞技术必须翻墙用谷歌。
