"/of.snapshot." . $snapshots_lvname[$i] . "." . $snapshots_id[$i]; 1132 else 1133 $snapshot_dev = "/dev/mapper/" . $snapshots_vgname[$i] . "-of.snapshot." . $snapshots_lvname[$i] . "." . $snapshots_id[$i]; 1134 1135 $snapshot_symlink_dev = "/dev/" . $snapshots_vgname[$i] . "/of.snapshot." . $snapshots_lvname[$i] . "." . $snapshots_ to something like Code: 1127 for ($i = 0; $i < count($snapshots_lvname); $i++) 1128 if (($snapshots_lvname[$i] == $volume) && ($snapshots_vgname[$i] == $vgname)) 1129 { 1130 $lvfixedname = preg_replace('/-/', '--', $snapshots_lvname[$i]); 1131 1132 if ($GLOBALS["lvm_version"] == 1) 1133 $snapshot_dev = "/dev/" . $snapshots_vgname[$i] . "/of.snapshot." . $snapshots_lvname[$i] . "." . $snapshots_id[$i]; 1134 else 1135 $snapshot_dev = "/dev/mapper/" . $snapshots_vgname[$i] . "-of.snapshot." . $lvfixedname . "." . $snapshots_id[$i]; 1136 1137 $snapshot_symlink_dev = "/dev/" . $snapshots_vgname[$i] . "/of.snapshot." . $snapshots_lvname[$i] . "." . $snapshots_ Something similar needs to be done in the code to execute a change in snapshot size too (about line 460) but I haven't actually done that yet :)It's bloody messy and only fixes the issue for volume names, but it seems to work. At least someone can write now a better fix than I can around the problem :)Thanks,-The1stImmortal Tue, 7 Sep 2010 01:45:22 +0100 https://forums.openfiler.com/viewtopic.php?pid=22306#22306 22306@https://forums.openfiler.com Topic: Arrays greater than 5tb Message: Hi all,Recently installed openfiler on a 5.5tb, raid 5 setup on an adaptec 5805 controller.To cut the long story short, what worked for me is to create within the controller 4 raid 5 drives as follows:drive a, 5gb, openfiler o/sdrive b, 2tb, openfiler Data adrive c, 2tb, openfiler Data bdrive d, 1.5tb, openfiler Data cThen created 3 volume groups for each of Data a, b & c above although for a minute contemplated whether I should just create one volume group containing a,b & c and then just split it into volumes.What is the optimum setup here? should i have done something differently?I am using this to present to a Vspere cluster storage in order to backup my vm's. (needless to say can NOT present more than 2tb).thanks.

Message: Hello all, I am a technician for a small family owned computer shop that does some work with large businesses for servers as well as a smattering of regular work.I am posting because one particular business has an Openfiler box with a software raid-5 array, but the motherboard has died. Would any of you know if the motherboard can be replaced without the raided data going away? I've tried exhaustive searches, and found nothing in particular on the subject.If it's possible in any way, that'd just make my day.Thank you for your time!PS, I am unable to replace the motherboard with an identical one, unfortunately.
