Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the existing RAID1 technology, some methods are fixed to read a disk, and some methods mainly consider the current I / O position of the disk to select the target disk to read, but the read performance is generally close to the performance of a single disk

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for reading RAID1 (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disk 1) equipment. The device comprises an information counting module, a reading block dividing module and a reading request processing module, wherein the information counting module is used for counting current state information of various member disks contained in the RAID1 equipment when a reading request of data of the RAID1 equipment is received; the reading block dividing module is used for dividing the size of reading blocks of the member disks according to the size of the data required to be read; and the reading request processing module is used for distributing the reading request onto the member disks to execute parallel data reading according to the current state information of all the member disks and the size of the reading blocks and informing idle member disks to read data of a next block into a cache in advance. The invention improves the reading efficiency of the RAID1 equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a disk array technology, in particular to a method and device for reading a RAID1 device. Background technique [0002] RAID1 disk arrays are generally implemented by mirroring technology. Many companies use RAID1 to achieve non-disruptive backup jobs to protect critical data. When using RAID1, data written to a redundant array of disks (RAID, redundant arrays of inexpensive disks) devices will be written to each member disk and written to the same location. In this way, disk damage in the disk array will not affect the normal operation of the array, and even if only one disk is left in the array, the read and write requests on the RAID device can be handled normally. [0003] RAID1 is usually used in occasions that need to provide high data redundancy protection and do not require high read and write performance. When writing data to a RAID device, the data is written to each member disk, which prolongs the write re...
