Can somebody tell me what I have to do to make a RAID 1 array with mis-matched disks (1 is 200 GB, one is 160 GB)? I am assuming I have to make 2 partitions on the 200 GB drive -- one exactly the same size as the 160 GB drive, one with whatever is left. Is that true? And is there an easy way to make the big partition EXACTLY the same as the size of the 160 GB drive? (When I look at the 160 GB drive with fdisk, I see a size that's a certain number of sectors (?) xxxxxxxxxx+ with a plus sign at the end. ) My situation is the following: I have 5 Maxtor 160 GB firewire drives and 1 Maxtor 200 GB firewire drive. I want to make 3 pairs of RAID 1 arrays and then stripe them as a single RAID 0 array. I have already done essentially the same thing with 6 200 GB drives and it works great. But now for the second set of drives I have one that's bigger than the rest. I want to be sure I don't have any problems. Good advice appreciated. Thanks in advance. - 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
