Create a RAID 5 array with advanced format drives
Hi,
I have four Western Digital advanced format drive of 2TB. Now i want to create a RAID 5 array on my server. If i'm correct i have to partition the drives with parted because fdisk is not supporting gpt partitions which is needed for 2TB drives: Code:
parted --align=opt /dev/sdx Code:
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 |

Not sure how or if MBR handles 4k sectors ("advanced format"), but then there's nothing wrong with ditching the MBR partitioning scheme altogether, regardless of drive size. Quote:
I believe the kernel RAID auto-activation code depends on the partitions being marked as "RAID auto-detect", but that code is deprecated anyway. Quote:
