I found it's quite difficult, after resizing underlying partitions, to compute the new size for mdadm /dev/mdX -G --size=xyz command, because of the way how it finds the superblock offset. So, the question is -- is it possible to make the argument of --size to be optional, and let mdadm to compute the size automatically, just like resize2fs does now? Or, maybe, to keep backward compatibility for those people who used --size z (as opposed to --size=z), to recognize `0' as special size, to mean "whole partition" or "max size". The latter is probably the best, i think. The same is for newly appeared --update=uuid:xyz: I'd let mdadm to choose an uuid just like it does for newly create array, if the uuid argument isn't specified, like: --update=uuid:1234 --- use uuid=1234 --update=uuid --- choose random uid Does it all look ok? /mjt, who goes to produce some patches... - 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
