Subject: bitmap questions

Message-ID: <201010131824.53363.a.miskiewicz@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I have a question on how bitmap works and what's shown in /proc/mdstat, for
example:
md2 : active raid10 sdc3[0] sdd3[3] sdb3[2] sda3[1]
60002560 blocks 64K chunks 2 near-copies [4/4] [UUUU]
bitmap: 1/1 pages [4KB], 65536KB chunk
- 1 bitmap for 4096 chunks
- if it shows 0/1 pages [0KB] what does it actually mean? Does that mean that
in case of resync it will resync _all_ 4096 chunks in that page or only chunks
that require that (for example 7 chunks) ?
- if it will resync all 4096 chunks what's the point of even allowing 1 page
setup (via mdadm)?
Thanks!
