For this, i edited a newraidtab file: > [root@server root]# cat /etc/newraidtab > raiddev /dev/md0 > raid-level 1 > nr-raid-disks 2 > nr-spare-disks 1 > chunk-size 32 > persistent-superblock 1 > device /dev/sdb1 > raid-disk 0 > device /dev/sdc1 > raid-disk 1 > device /dev/sdb1 > spare-disk 0 > [root@server root]# raidreconf -o /etc/raidtab -n /etc/newraidtab -m You don't need raidreconf to add a spare disk; just add it with raidhotadd to the running array.
