Hi,
I'm having problems with RAID0 to RAID5 file copy (both mdadm - setup under Proxmox). Haven't tried if the same goes the other way yet. Some info:
RAID0 - PVE + LVM VMs - 3x 500GB
RAID5 - LVMs for other DATA - 13x 2TB
Guest OS is Ubuntu 12.04.1.
OSs partiton is a LVM on RAID0 - filesystem created by the installer - ext4.
DATA LVM partitions (16TB and 6TB) on RAID5 - filesystem created by me using:
The thing is that if I'm copying something from RAID0 to RAID5 then it can go all day long (eg. using MC). But if I open a second terminal and try to copy something else (or any other background process starts copying) then all writes to RAID5 hang, and from that moment I'm unable to write anything to it. Sometimes rebooting guest help, but most of the times I have to reboot the physical machine to be able to write to RAID5 again (reading is possible).
I'm mounting it using:
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? And/Or how to fix it?
