code theory behind RAID systems.-
Hi all. I'm triying to begin a code theory investigation about the
redundancy codes in RAID systems. I will like to know if there are any papers about this type of codes and where could I get them. Thanks in advance. Gustavo Vázquez.- |

Yes I mean so. I know the algorithms but I would like to know the
usage of that codes (for example, in wich disks you put the pariy bit, the redundancy, etc). Mark Landin wrote in message . .. On 13 May 2004 11:35:13 -0700, (Gustavo V?zquez) wrote: Hi all.

A good place to start is the original Chen & Patterson et al. research papers from Berkely, two good ones start with a http://www.buyya.com/superstorage/chap1.pdf http://www.csie.fju.edu.tw/~yeh/rese...raid_intro.pdf As to where the parity information is stored, it's a pretty simple list RAID-2, IIRC, the Hamming code data is stored on four disks for a set of 10 data disk, five disk for a set of 25, the number goes up with the gumber of drives in the stripe. RAID-3 all parity stored on a single disk, i.e. if there are N disks in the data set, then the parity is stored on the N+1th disk. RAID-4 same principle as RAID-3 RAID-5 Parity information distributed across all disks in the set, i.e. no single drive dedicated to parity data. |
