Subject: [RHEL7.5 PATCH 072/169] mdopen: use parameters/new_array to
|
||
|
|
create arrays whenever possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In a sufficiently recent kernel, an md%d array can be
|
||
|
|
created by writing to .../parameters/new_array.
|
||
|
|
If mdadm does this consistently, then another new
|
||
|
|
feature, disabling create_on_open, can be enabled.
|
||
|
|
This avoids races on shutdown.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An added benefit of using new_array (where available)
|
||
|
|
is that it allows md arrays with numbers larger than 511
|
||
|
|
(e.g. md999) to be created. The old create_on_open
|
||
|
|
mechanism doesn't support such devices since
|
||
|
|
Commit: af5628f05db6 ("md: disable probing for md devices 512 and over.")
|
||
|
|
in Linux 3.17.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After a few more mdadm releases it would be good to
|
||
|
|
have mdadm disable create_on_open automatically.
