Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [multipath] md0 : active raid6 sdf3[0] sdd3[7] sdg3[6] sdh3[5] sdc3[4] sdb3[2] sda3[3] sde3[1] 46824429696 blocks super 1.0 level 6, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [8/8] [UUUUUUUU] bitmap: 21/59 pages [84KB], 65536KB chunk
NOTE:
- Personalities: What RAID levels the kernel currently supports.
- This can be changed by either changing the raid modules or recompiling the kernel.
- Possible personalities include: [raid0] [raid1] [raid4] [raid5] [raid6] [linear] [multipath] [faulty]
- [faulty] is a diagnostic personality; it does not mean there is a problem with the array.
- md0: The device is /dev/md0.
- active: The RAID is active and started.
- An inactive array is usually faulty. Stopped arrays are not visible here.
- raid6: The type of RAID array and the component devices are:
- sdf3[0] is device 0.
- sdd3[7] is device 7.
- sdg3[6] is device 6.
- sdh3[5] is device 5.
- sdc3[4] is device 4.
- sdb3[2] is device 2.
- sda3[3] is device 3.
- sde3[1] is device 1.
- The order in which the devices appear in this line means nothing.
- 46824429696 blocks: The usable size of the array in blocks.
- super 1.0: The array uses a 1.0 superblock.
- level 6: Confirms this is a level 6 array.
- 64k chunk: Has a chunk size of 64k.
- This is the size for 'chunks' and is only relevant to raid levels that involve striping (1,4,5,6,10).
- The address space of the array is conceptually divided into chunks and consecutive chunks are striped onto neighboring devices.
- algorithm 2: Uses algorithm 2.
- [8/8]: The first number is the number of a complete raid devices as defined. The second number is how many devices are in use.
- [UUUUUUUU]: The status of each device.
- F: The drive has failed.
- U: The drive is used and working fine.
- _: The drive is down.
