dear sir: i try to make a reshape command with mdadm (version 2.5.2).in linux shell ,i make $:mdadm -G /dev/md5 /dev/sdd2 /dev/md5 is a raid5 device with 4 disks,/dev/sdd2 is a partition it give the prompt :mdadm :can only add devices to linear arrays,but i have read the resourse code of mdadm(V2.5.2),it do really support adding several disks into a array (espacially raid5) to make the array more large capability. i want to know if i want to add(not hotadd) a disk(or a partition) to this array ,how can i make an reshape command correctly? i have read the help of mdadm ,but i still can't find the correct command format! please do me a favor! thank you ! dragon - 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
