Subject: The effects of multiple layers of block drivers
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 14:58:49 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4786A329.90702@2inches.com> (raw)
Hello,
I am starting to dig into the Block subsystem to try and uncover the
reason for some data I lost recently. My situation is that I have
multiple block drivers on top of each other and am wondering how the
effectss of a raid 5 rebuild would affect the block devices above it.
The layers are raid 5 -> lvm -> cryptoloop. It seems that after the
raid 5 device was rebuilt by adding in a new disk, that the cryptoloop
doesn't have a valid ext3 partition on it.
As a raid device re-builds is there ant rearranging of sectors or
corresponding blocks that would effect another block device on top of it?
Sincerely,
Dennison Williams
