2 server, Exact setup+ hard drive+ SW Raid 10 4HD

Server -A: dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync = 160MB/s
Server-B: dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync = 90MB/s
mdstat shows Raid as active. Any idea what might have been happening?

This week is not my week. Too many funny error.

    Perhaps it's your hard disk 's fault..

    Same BIOS setup? DD being done on a volume within the RAID? Chunk sizes/stripe size/readahead all the same?

  • TazTaz Member

    yes. Exact config. Doing another install. Lets see how it comes out.

    hdparm -tT each individual drive and compare the read speeds. Any differences?

    What is the output of cat /proc/mdstat on each machine?

    I think he already opted to a reinstall so we won't be able to troubleshoot this error for him. First step should probably be to check the SMART data on all the drives.

  • TazTaz Member

    I will update you soon.
    BTW during Kickstart I got this: with error mdadm exited with status 127- any one have any update on this? i do not have redhat sub so can not see a damn thing over there and it is bugging like hell.

  • TazTaz Member

    @corey smart shows up everything fine. I am simply re-installing to see if I messed up somewhere else.

    Partitions Ext4? How are you setting them up? Beforehand or in Anaconda?

  • TazTaz Member

    Anaconda. Ext4 and Ext3 same error.

  • TazTaz Member

    Issue fixed. Bad partioning. After re-install fixed everything. Feels so good. Off to Grimaldis Pizza any one from NYC want to meet up?

  • CoreyCorey Member

    So weird. - If i were in NYC I would.

  • TazTaz Member

    Ya I know.

  • Heading to NYC in July.
