Hello, I have just joined this list and made some reading. What I am looking for is a way to add new hard drives to my raid5 made with mdadm. If have got it right it's not supported, and it's taking some time though people wants to do it in the kernel and not the way raidtools-reconf does it, fully understandable (even though I would like to do it offline). So my question is, is there any timeplan for this functionallity? Can I expect to be able to resize my raid5 before winter? My idea was to build a lot of raid5 (like 5 of them) to match that my hard drives have different sizes, and after that use lvm to get one big partition that I can add new drives to and just enlarge. This leads to that I also have to be able to convert raid1 to raid5, if I do not want to move the data on that little part to a temporary disk, that would be possible today, it would be only 70G to move around. -- Magnus Månsson <ganja@xxxxxxx> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
