Or won't > it ? Resizing isn't something I really care for. This particular box will be sent away to a data centre where it'll stay for 3 years until I replace it. (And if I really do need more disk space in the meantime, I'll just build another :) Still scratching my head, trying to work out if raid-10 can withstand (any) 2 disks of failure though, although after reading md(4) a few times now, I'm begining to think it can't (unless you are lucky!) So maybe I'll just stick with Raid-6 as I know that!
