RAID1 TUNING

A RAID1 LV can be tuned so that certain devices are avoided for reading while all devices are still written to.

lvchange --[raid]writemostly PV[:y|n|t] LV

The specified device will be marked as "write mostly", which means that reading from this device will be avoided, and other devices will be preferred for reading (unless no other devices are available.) This minimizes the I/O to the specified device.

If the PV name has no suffix, the write mostly attribute is set. If the PV name has the suffix :n, the write mostly attribute is cleared, and the suffix :t toggles the current setting.

The write mostly option can be repeated on the command line to change multiple devices at once.

To report the current write mostly setting, the lvs attr field will show the letter "w" in the 9th position when write mostly is set:

lvs -a -o name,attr

When a device is marked write mostly, the maximum number of outstanding writes to that device can be configured. Once the maximum is reached, further writes become synchronous. When synchronous, a write to the LV will not complete until writes to all the mirror images are complete.

lvchange --[raid]writebehind Number LV

To report the current write behind setting, run:

lvs -o name,raid_write_behind

When write behind is not configured, or set to 0, all LV writes are synchronous.
