Consider this section: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.14 I have not done this before and I'm leary about Step 11 which is resizing the filesystem after doing a mkraid command. This howto lacks any ext3 documentation. Some questions I have are: 1. Should I convert back to ext2 on all my filesystems before I do a mkraid? 2. If I leave the system at ext3, will the mkraid conflict with the journal? Is resize2fs even neccessary now-a-days? 3. If so, in the future, can ext3 compensate for a potential raid situation (reserving that meta-block) so that e2fsck and resize2fs won't be neccessary. Basically, Step 11 scares the hell out of me which is why I haven't done this on a live system. thanks, -eric wood _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
