Attributes
The attribute of an array drive is usually read/write ([RW]). If a component of a
disk array is missing during startup and the operator decides not to activate fail
mode, the array is set to the read only attribute ([RO]). When the missing drive
becomes available, the array drive shows the ready status (for example,
attribute [RW]).
Striping Size
(RAID 0, 5, 10) Data written on RAID 0, 4, 5, or 10 drives is distributed over all
drives (striping). The striping size can only be changed at the time the drive is
created (standard setting is 32KB).
Invalid/Missing (RAID 1) These two values show the number of invalid/missing drives. In this
condition invalid drives exist during the build process (initial copy of data from
the master to the slave).
Pool Hot Fix
Indicates when the pool hot fixterms_hot_fix access is enabled or disabled. A
pool hot fix drive is a spare drive within the so-called hot fix pool. A drive in a
hot fix pool is available for several array drives as a hot fix drive (assuming it has
appropriate capacity). Thus, several array drives can share one hot fix drive.
Once this drive has been used by one of the array drives, it is no longer available
for the others. Hot fix drives can also be configured as private hot fix drives. A
private hot fix drive can only be used by the array drive it was configured for.
Clicking with the right mouse button on the array drive icon can change the pool
hot fix access.
