man raidreconf Guy -----Original Message----- From: linux-raid-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-raid-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew McCready Sent: Friday, September 17, 2004 1:23 PM To: linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: raid5 and adding disks Is it possible to add a disk to a raid5 array after that array has been created? I just bought 3 disks that I plan to turn into a raid5 array, and I have two more disks in a raid0 array that I'd like to add to it. The problem is that the raid0 has 6months worth of data on it, and I have no where else to stick that data while building the raid5 array. I was hoping I could build a 3 disk raid5 array, move the files over, then add the 2 remaining disks to the raid5 array.
