Hello,
I tried to create a raid5 set with 3 partitions and one missing device:
mdadm -C /dev/md1 -R -l5 -n4 /dev/hda3 /dev/hdc3 /dev/hdd3 missing
Later I want to add the fourth device with mdadm /dev/md1 -a /dev/hdb3. But this becomes a spare and I always end up with the missing drive in sync, mdadm -D /dev/md1:
<snip> 3 0 0 0 sync
I want to do this so I can use hdb to transfer data from an harddisk to the raid5 set. Maybe this is only possible with Raid 1 sets?
cheers
