Problems about RAID 5 6 #293

Closed magsom closed 1 year ago

I want to build a RAID 6 array, but Btrfs has some known bugs: Current bugs with operational impact on btrfs raid5 How to use btrfs raid5 successfully(ish)

Currently winBtrfs doesn't have equivalent feature to "btrfs replace" command. How to replace a disk in winBtrfs?

I created a 3 disks array to test, Data RAID 5, Metadata and System RAID1C3, copied 200GB data, then scrubbed, it showed about 10 data checksum error and parity error was recovered on device 1 and device 2. Writing error occurs on a new RAID 5 volume is problematic, and some files failed to read correctly.

In Windows Event Log, disk Event 153 (Level Warning "The IO operation at logical block address 0x* for Disk x was retried") occurs during writing. I'm using SMR HDD. I wonder if there are any optimizations. Update: The disk has writing performance problem, I can only replace it to get more speed.
