Task

The machine 'scotland' is equipped with six 1.5TB disk drives. Partition 9 on each drive is unused. We're going to use these partitions to benchmark various RAID levels.

  1. Create a RAID array of the six partitions (/dev/sd[a-f]9) using the appropriate mdadm command(s).
  2. Create an ext3 filesystem on that array.
  3. Benchmark the array using the Winter_2009_SYA810_Block_Device_Benchmark_Scripts. Repeat the benchmarks at least 3 times -- more if the results seem to vary substantially.
  4. Stop the RAID array.

Important Notes

  • Do not use any devices other than /dev/sd[a-f]9 as members of the array.
  • Do not have any spare elements in your array.
  • Make sure the system is quiet (not doing any background processing) when you run your tests.

Who's Doing Which RAID Level

Write you name on here according to RAID levels chosen in class.

Results

Record your results here. A table would be nice!

# this suppose to call all small script one by one, and to be run with nohup.
# bug: it calls each script in background..
