multiple raid grps in filesystem on filer
by neil lehrer 08 Sep '00

08 Sep '00

hi, i understand that having more than 1 raid grp in a filesystem makes the filer more fault tolerant of a full raid grp failure. so lets say there are two raid grps in the filesystem. if you lose a raid grp [2 drives fail] how do you restore it? i can understand restoring the whole filesystem or a qtree or a dir, but if files and dirs can go across more than 1 raid grp in a filesystem what is the advantage of short restore of the broken raid grp? how do you put back just that raid group? i know you can replace the bad drives and then recreate the group but how do you restore the data for just that raid grp? thanks
