I can't figure out an easy way to do it quickly and easily. For the adventurous: try raidreconf (http://unthought.net/raidreconf) It has the "import disk" option for creating an array out of an existing single disk plus some new disk(s) and a raidtab. I suppose you could import the existing RAID-1 into a RAID-0 consisting of your old RAID-1 and a newly created RAID-1 (which you create on your two new disks prior to using raidreconf). However - beware !!! This is definitely some functionality of raidreconf that hasn't seen much testing - in fact I haven't tried it myself after I got the code back from the maintainer (long story). Anyway, take good backups whatever you do. If you decide to try out raidreconf, please let me know if it worked. I've had quite some success with it lately, but it needs a lot more testing that I can possibly give it. -- ................................................................ : jakob@unthought.net : And I see the elder races, : :.........................: putrid forms of man : : Jakob Østergaard : See him rise and claim the earth, : : OZ9ABN : his downfall is at hand. : :.........................:............{Konkhra}...............: - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
