Hello I've read through the Software RAID HowTo (a very helpful document) and searched through the mailing list, but haven't been able to find the answer to my question, so here goes: Suppose I have a RAID 1 (striping) RAID set up consisting of two drives, creaiedby editing raidtab and issuing an mkraid, etc. Suppose I've made an ext3 filesystem on this device and have files on it. Now, suppose this RAID device is full, and I wish to make it bigger. Is there a way for me to add another pair of drives to this array? I've tried doing a "raidhotadd" on my experimental box, that that didn't work. Later reading revealed that raidhotadd is only for adding spares. I don't think simply adding the new drives to the raidtab will help, as those changes will only become effective if I mkraid the device, which will torch the data on it. Is it possible to do this, or am I dreaming? Thanks Mark Mark Cuss, B. Sc.
