I've tried searching for this answer, but haven't found anything elegant.

I have numerous servers in a colo that is in another state. I need to find a way to check that the servers have RAID-1 on them, so that I can determine if they were setup correctly by my colo.

df -h shows: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 442G 1.5G 418G 1% / /dev/sda1 99M 19M 75M 20% /boot tmpfs 4.0G 0 4.0G 0% /dev/shm

however as CentOS uses LVM by default, this doesn't indicate if a RAID-1 is present.

it is supposed to be a software raid, so I'm pretty sure there should be a way to check.

Thanks

cat /proc/mdstat will give you raid usage on your machine

dmesg | grep raid will tell you if raid is enabled in your kernel

  • /proc/mdstat wasn't useful to me for some reason, but the dmesg | grep raid was certainly where I started. Thanks. Feb 8, 2010 at 20:25

I think I found the answer right after I asked.

dmraid -r should do what I'm looking for.

    I tried that on a few of my software raid machines and it says 'no raid disks' while cat /proc/mdstat does tell me about the raids. Feb 8, 2010 at 21:43
  • strange, that's completely backwards for me. I found out from my colo guy that he installed the raids wrong anyways Feb 8, 2010 at 22:06

Hai

when i try this command

[root@localhost ~]# dmraid -r

My result is :

[root@localhost ~]# dmraid -r /dev/sda: isw, "isw_dhefccahba", GROUP, ok, 976773165 sectors, data@ 0 /dev/sdb: isw, "isw_dhefccahba", GROUP, ok, 976773165 sectors, data@ 0

What is the meaning of above results
