after reading & googling all over the place I'm still uncertain that what I want to do will work. basically I have a 2 device RAID-0 with existing data on it. trogdor:# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid0] md0 : active raid0 sdc1[1] sdb1[0] 1809352448 blocks 8k chunks unused devices: <none> What I'd like to do is add a third device to increase the capacity. According to the man page and numerous examples I've found, you can do this with: mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdd the catch is that all the examples I've seen were for recovering a RAID-5 (removing a failed device then adding one). Does anyone know if this will work without destroying the existing data on a RAID-0?
