I sent this message directly to Neil Brown first, but then I read his homepage and found out I should have sent it here, so here goes. I've got 5 250GB drives, 4 of which I used to create an RAID5-md-device, after all that was done (striping and all that) I added the last drive. Problem is that about 30% into the process of reshaping, my computer died, and when I've got things up on a new system now, I can get it to start where it left off. It says that the device (md0) is in delta 4->5, but I'm unable to get it to restart reshaping. Are all the data I had on the raid-device lost? Or is it possible to make it restart where it left off? It clearly knows how far it has come along, since I get some stats about that. In advance, thanks! -- Thomas - 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
