This section describes information and functions of volume where the user stores data.
* The LG NETWORK STORAGE uses hard disks separated in 3 areas; System, Swap and User.
- The System is where the LG NETWORK STORAGE rmware is installed with 10GB of
space allocated.
- Swap is a virtual memory area to compensate shortage of memory.
2GB are allocated.
- The user composes the LG NETWORK STORAGE volume and the remaining space is
allocated. Total available space of the volume diers according to le system pattern
and RAID level.
54
4. LG Network Storage Web Menu Use (for LG
Network Storage administrators)
Volume Array Configuration
This page displays information pertaining to existing state and size of the volume of the LG
NETWORK STORAGE. Conguration is possible through the volume name, conguration
disk, RAID level, volume state and capacity.
1 Name
The name will be divided into a maximum of 4, i.e. volume1/ volume 2/ volume 3/
volume 4. The check box on the left refers to the volume.
2 Disk
The volume conguration will be divided into various hard disk locations and will be
labeled B1/B2/B3/B4. The congured volume via RAID will appear on a multitude of
disks.
3 RAID
RAID level is shown as NONE, JBOD, RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 and RAID10. It is possible to
have None with one hard disk, JBOD / RAID0 / RAID1 with 2 hard disks, JBOD / RAID0 /
RAID5 with 3 hard disks, and JBOD / RAID0 / RAID5 / RAID10 with 4 hard disks.
4 Status
This indicates the normal state and operation of volume. The state of volume can
be active / none / degraded / destroyed / formatting / syncing / migrating / quartercheck / scanning / sys_syncing.
- ‘active’ refers to no abnormality in the volume,
- ‘none’ refers to when no RAID is congured,
- ‘degraded’ refers to conguration of the abnormal or deleted hard disk process,
though volume is available for use,
- ‘destroyed’ refers to conguration of the abnormal or deleted hard disk process, and
volume is unavailable for use,
- ‘formatting’ refers to the process of formatting the volume,
55
4. LG Network Storage Web Menu Use (for LG
Network Storage administrators)
- the ‘syncing’ state refers to the RAID conguration process,
- ‘migrating’ indicates reconguring RAID
- ‘quarter-check’ indicates setting quota for volume
- ‘scanning’ indicates checking volume
- ‘sys_syncing’ indicates conguring the system areas.
5 Capacity (Used/Total)
The amount used and total capacity of volume are displayed. The percentage of
capacity used (Used/Total) is indicated by the bar on left and full capacity (Total) is
indicated by the bar on the right.
Note: Total storage represents total available storage, which is dened by le system and
RAID level. The ext3 le system of the LG NETWORK STORAGE occupies 1.5% of the total
HDD storage, thus the actual available storage in a volume is approximately 98.5% of
the total user storage. When using one HDD per volume (single disk), the total storage is
equal to the actual available storage of a HDD. The total storage of a RAID- based volume
diers according to RAID level (JBOD / RAID0 / RAID1 / RAID5 / RAID10). For JBOD, the total
available storage is the sum of the actual available storage of each HDD. For RAID0, the
total available storage is the actual available storage of the smallest HDD multiplied by
the number of HDDs. For RAID1, the total available storage is the actual available storage
of the smallest HDD. For RAID5, the total available storage is the actual available storage
of the smallest HDD multiplied by (the number of HDDs minus 1). For RAID10, which
is composed of 5 HDDS, the total available storage is twice that of the actual available
storage.
Note:The represented size of the HDDs diers depending on manufacturer and OS.
HDD manufacturers use an exponent of 1000 while OSs such as Microsoft Windows
use exponents of 1024. The total available storage on the LG NETWORK STORAGE is
represented by the exponent 1024.
Note: Volume storage of the LG NETWORK STORAGE is the total HDD storage without the
system area and the swapping area. If for example a volume is congured with a 1TB HDD,
with 1x1012 bytes of storage, user area will be as follows: 1x1012 - 10x10243 (system area)
- 2x10243 (swapping area) = 987115098112 bytes. This becomes 919Gb when converted
using the exponent 1024.
