I am doing some RAID scenarios on a single disc (testing purposes) on RHEL4. I have some partitions as follows: /dev/hda5 100M /dev/hda6 200M /dev/hda7 200M /dev/hda8 200M /dev/hda9 200M I create a RAID 5 set with /dev/hda{5,6,7,8}. I fail/remove /dev/hda5 and add /dev/hda9, at which point I can grow the RAID. Running: mdadm -G /dev/md0 -z max
Have you copied the data from hda5 to hda9 with dd? If i remember, growing a RAID 5 that way is done by creating the missing stripes at the end of each disks. If the array is already in degraded mode, I am not sure if mdadm is able to recover from that.
