Or just do this same thing at the filesystem level. Right now you have md0 with one missing disk. Use your new disk to create md1 with one missing disk. Create filesystem on md1, and copy files with e.g. tar, rsync, etc. Then get rid of md0 and add that drive to md1. -jim - 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
