Hello, for first, sorry for my english...
I have question about raid 1 and hot spare disk. I searched in google and I asked on several forums, but did not get the answer. I hope you can help me.
I have raid 1(mdadm) and configure hot spare disk for this raid.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=512 count=1
fdisk /dev/sdc o and w
sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk --force /dev/sdc
and
mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdc1
mdadm /dev/md1 -a /dev/sdc2
...
My doubt and the response of fdisk on disks installed.
Two disk active in raid /dev/sda and /dev/sdb have the same
---------------------------------------
3000.6 ГБ, 3000592982016 байт
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 2861588 cylinders
Units = цилиндры(cylinders) of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
-----------------------------------------
And output /dev/sdc (hot spare) is different
---------------------
3000.6 ГБ, 3000592982016 байт
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 364801 cylinders
Units = цилиндры(cylinders) of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
-----------------------------
If see output there are heads, sector and other different.
My question is, hot spare disk is compatible in case of failure one disk in Raid 1 and there will be problems if the hot spare disk have different heads, sectors/track, cylinders.
Thank you.
