gstripe on Filesystem

A

aceman

The hard drives are: ad20 (freebsd), ad22, ad24, ad26, ad28, ad30, ad4, ad6.

[CMD=""]#gmirror status[/CMD]
Code: 
mirror/gm0  DEGRADED  ad20
                      ad22 (9%)
mirror/gm1  DEGRADED  ad24
                      ad26 (4%)
mirror/gm2  DEGRADED  ad28
                      ad30 (4%)
mirror/gm3  DEGRADED  ad4
                      ad6 (3%)

I would like to use gstripe on gm0, gm1, gm2, and gm3 become ar0.

Is it possible to use raid 0 (gstripe) on mirrored file system drive?
 
you mean like # gstripe label -s 65536 data /dev/mirror/gm0 /dev/mirror/gm1 /dev/mirror/gm2 /dev/mirror/gm3

Of course it works with standard file system. That's the thing about GEOM, it allows you to stack layers and end up with your ideal disk setup.

You mean a boot drive? No.
 
What do you mean by file system drive? Does it boot off that drive(mirror)? If so, I already answered that question.

Any current data on those drives would be lost once you complete the process.

Yes, it boots from gm0. Thanks for your explanation.

Is there any other method to combine 8 hard drives into 1 RAID 1+0 drive then install the FreeBSD in the raid 1+0 drive?
