+ | |||
+ | Basically i would recommend to use UEFI only in Bios and GPT- Partitiontable on at least two Harddrives. The Linux- Root- System AND the EFI- Partitions should be mirrored (raid1) for failsafe and mak it possible to have the system booting from ONE disk (which is not possible with raid5). | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Data (like Home and program data) can have raid5 with 3 or more disks. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Always use LVM, as this has many benefits. On OpenSuSE btrfs is the best Filesystem if you disable Quotas on datapartitions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Example-Setup ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | My small Homeoffice-Server described here, will have 5 Disks: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * 2x SSD with 2 TB each | ||
+ | * 3x HDD with 4 TB each | ||
+ | |||
+ | My Setup will look like this: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The SSDs will bothe have the same Layout: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * 1x 1GB Raid1 FAT32 EFIBOOT | ||
+ | * 1x 100%FREE LVM2 PV in Volumegroup vgssd | ||
+ | * 100GB Raid1 lvroot btrfs, | ||
+ | * 50GB Raid1 lvmariadb xfs for docker service mariadb | ||
+ | * Space left blank for other high performance- services or growth | ||
+ | |||
+ | The HDDs will have: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * 1x 100%Free LVM2 PV Volumegroup vgdata | ||
+ | * 1x 100GB Raid5 xfs, home and docker-service | ||
+ | * 1x 4,4TB Raid5 lvbackup btrfs, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Raided EFI-BOOT ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Nowadays, UEFI is always the best choice to boot. UEFI- Boot is quite straight forward: You first take some device, make it gpt- partitioned, | ||
+ | |||
+ | But: Unfortunatelly, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fortunatelly the designers of OSS software- raid were smarter: They found a way to work around that: They made a special Version of MD Metadata called V1.0 which will store its Metadata at the end of the partition - so it will not interfere with FAT32. For FAT32 it can work as usual and for MD-Tools it will be able to detect the devices as Raid1. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But still - LVM will not work in this case. MD Partitions and Raid1 need to be outside of the LVM-Partition. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So I would suggest to use two disks both partioned with GPT and same sized efi-partitions (as said, at least 500 Megabytes in Size to store Bios or UCODE updates for Firmware Updater) and before creating the FAT32 filesystem do software raid on it. E.g.: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | ~ # mdadm --create --verbose / | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The important part is metadata=1.0 - this format has especially designed to fit the needs of raid1 of fat/efi- systems. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You than install your Linux Bootmanager / EFIBOOT to that md- Device. If its not found in the beginning of the installation, | ||
==== LVM ==== | ==== LVM ==== | ||
- | LVM is a powerful partition-management-layer and should always be used, when there is some none low-end hardware present. If you can use the **KDE Partitioning- Tool** (which means having Plasma=KDE Desktop compatible support), the support is very inuitive and opens a lot of flexibility whne handling partitions, like adding more disk space or moving partitions, but also on console this offers good functionality. OpenSuSE offer to create LVM- Styled system setup in installation optionally (not by default). If you can: use it. | + | LVM is a powerful partition-management-layer and should always be used, when there is some none low-end hardware present. If you can use the **KDE Partitioning- Tool** |
+ | |||
+ | === Mirror- Raided LVM- Volumes (RAID1) === | ||
+ | |||
+ | Noadays, MD raid1 or raid5 for system without LVM is outdated. Those things are integrated in LVM - so use it! | ||
+ | |||
+ | For our Setup we want to have the Linux Base System on Raid1, because Raid1 offers the flexibility to only have one phisical device that will work for its own without configuring. If you want to have the system on one disk, this is really nice. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So first, create a partition on both disks which is maximum in Size. Than, create a Volume group containing those partitions and finally, create a raid1 on it (for example): | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | vgcreate vgsystem /dev/sdX1 /dev/sdY1 | ||
+ | lvcreate -m1 --type raid1 -L 100GB -n lvroot vgsystem | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | where 100%FREE means 100% of Free Space used… | ||
+ | |||
+ | To check if raid1 works, use: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | lvs -a -o name, | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | If this has not worked, use: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | lvconvert --type raid1 -m1 vg_xxx/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Or - you can do raid5 with: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | lvcreate -n lvdata --type raid5 -l 100%FREE -i 2 vgdata | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | where i equals the number of devices with Data (not including parity- storage) | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Useful Commands === | ||
+ | |||
+ | The KDE- Partitionmanager is still not perfect. LVM is mor powerful in these things: | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Moving logical Volumes to physical Devices == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Usually Partitions or Devices are only assigned to Volume-Groups (VG) and Logical Volumes (LV) are using them dynamically as needed. This makes it sometimes hard to understand, where the Data really is located right now. Especially when you are having different physical Devices, you may want one LV to use one Device. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For an overview how the Data is split, you can use: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | # lvs -P -a -o +devices, | ||
+ | LV VG | ||
+ | lvbackup | ||
+ | [lvbackup_rimage_0] vgdata | ||
+ | [lvbackup_rimage_1] vgdata | ||
+ | [lvbackup_rimage_2] vgdata | ||
+ | [lvbackup_rmeta_0] | ||
+ | [lvbackup_rmeta_1] | ||
+ | [lvbackup_rmeta_2] | ||
+ | lvdata | ||
+ | [lvdata_rimage_0] | ||
+ | [lvdata_rimage_1] | ||
+ | [lvdata_rimage_2] | ||
+ | [lvdata_rmeta_0] | ||
+ | [lvdata_rmeta_1] | ||
+ | [lvdata_rmeta_2] | ||
+ | lvdocker | ||
+ | [lvdocker_rimage_0] vgdata | ||
+ | [lvdocker_rimage_1] vgdata | ||
+ | [lvdocker_rimage_2] vgdata | ||
+ | [lvdocker_rmeta_0] | ||
+ | [lvdocker_rmeta_1] | ||
+ | [lvdocker_rmeta_2] | ||
+ | lvhome | ||
+ | [lvhome_rimage_0] | ||
+ | [lvhome_rimage_1] | ||
+ | [lvhome_rmeta_0] | ||
+ | [lvhome_rmeta_1] | ||
+ | lvroot | ||
+ | [lvroot_rimage_0] | ||
+ | [lvroot_rimage_1] | ||
+ | [lvroot_rmeta_0] | ||
+ | [lvroot_rmeta_1] | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can also move them to single Devices if needed. Here i wanted my home to also be on the faster Device sda. As sda4 had enough free space, i could do: | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | # pvmove -n system/home /dev/sdb2 /dev/sda4 | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Resizing logical Volumes with mounted Filesystem == | ||
+ | |||
+ | can be done by e.g. | ||
+ | |||
+ | < | ||
+ | lvresize --size 20G / | ||
+ | |||

By default the umask is 0002 or 0022. Those values are substracted from 0777, which would mean full access for everyone. You can check out the docs in the net how they work.
