Hello all, I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but I've been digging around for a few days now and have not found a clear answer, so I'm tossing it out to those who know it best. I see that as of a few rc's ago, 2.6.17 has had the capability of adding additional drives to an active raid 5 array (w/ the proper ver of mdadm, of course). I cannot, however, for the life of me find out exactly how one goes about doing it! I would love if someone could give a step-by-step on what needs to be changed in, say, mdadm.conf (if anything), and what args you need to throw at mdadm to start the reshape process. As a point of reference, here's my current mdadm.conf: DEVICE /dev/sda1 DEVICE /dev/sdb1 DEVICE /dev/sdc1 ARRAY /dev/md0 devices=/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1,/dev/sdc1 level=5 num-devices=3 I will be adding the devices /dev/sde1 and /dev/sdf1 (when I can find out how :) Thanks in advance, -Tim - 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
