    description: "Use Linux utility mdadm to create, rebuilt and delete
                  software RAID5. RAID5 consists of block-level striping with
                  distributed parity."

        - chase.qi@linaro.org
    os:
        - debian
        - ubuntu
        - centos
        - fedora
    scope:
        - functional
    devices:
        - d02
        - d03
        - d05

        - moonshot
        - thunderX
    environment:
        - manual-test

run:
    steps:
        - Install OS on the SUT(system under test) and make sure it boots.
        - Power off the SUT and install three extra hard drives(use sd[b|c|d]
          here). The three hard drives shoud have the same mode, at least the
          same capacity.
        - Boot to OS and make sure mdadm utility installed.
        - Create 'Linux RAID auto' partition on each of the three hard drives
          by running the following steps.
        - 1) "fdisk /dev/sdx"
        - 2) Delete all existing partitions with fdisk command "d"
        - 3) Create Linux raid auto partition with fdisk commands
             "n -> p -> 1 -> enter -> enter -> t -> fd -> w"
        - Run the following steps to test RAID5.
        - 1) Remove the existing md0. Refer to md0 removing steps above.
        - 2) "mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1"
        - 3) Monitor '/proc/mdstat' to check if md0 created and running.
        - 4) "mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0"
        - 5) "mount /dev/md0 /mnt"
        - 6) "echo 'RAID5 test' > /mnt/raid5-test.txt"
        - 7) "mdadm --manage --set-faulty /dev/md0 /dev/sdd1"
        - 8) "mdadm --manage /dev/md0 -r /dev/sdd1"
        - 9) Verify that '/mnt/raid5-test.txt' is not damaged.
        - 10) "mdadm --manage /dev/md0 -a /dev/sdd1"
        - 11) Monitor the output of "mdadm --detail /dev/md0" and make sure
              that md0 'rebuilding' can be finished.
        - Remove the md0 by running the following steps.
        - 1) "umount /dev/md0"
        - 2) "mdadm --stop /dev/md0"
        - 3) "mdadm --remove /dev/md0"
        - 4) "mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1"

    expected:
        - RAID5 array creating, deleting and rebuilding are successful.
        - When one disk of RAID5 array damaged or removed, no data loss.
        - When faulty disk replaced with a new one, RAID5 array can be rebuilt.
