raid0 RAID0 striping (no resilience)
raid1 RAID1 mirroring
raid4 RAID4 with dedicated last parity disk
- raid5_n RAID5 with dedicated last parity disk suporting takeover
+ raid5_n RAID5 with dedicated last parity disk supporting takeover
Same as raid4
-Transitory layout
raid5_la RAID5 left asymmetric
- rotating parity N (right-to-left) with data continuation
raid6_n_6 RAID6 with dedicate parity disks
- parity and Q-syndrome on the last 2 disks;
- laylout for takeover from/to raid4/raid5_n
+ layout for takeover from/to raid4/raid5_n
raid6_la_6 Same as "raid_la" plus dedicated last Q-syndrome disk
- layout for takeover from raid5_la from/to raid6
raid6_ra_6 Same as "raid5_ra" dedicated last Q-syndrome disk
device removal (negative value) or device addition (positive
value) to any reshape supporting raid levels 4/5/6 and 10.
RAID levels 4/5/6 allow for addition of devices (metadata
- and data device tupel), raid10_near and raid10_offset only
- allow for device addtion. raid10_far does not support any
+ and data device tuple), raid10_near and raid10_offset only
+ allow for device addition. raid10_far does not support any
reshaping at all.
A minimum of devices have to be kept to enforce resilience,
which is 3 devices for raid4/5 and 4 devices for raid6.
