Hello,
I currently have a linear RAID setup via mdadm with is made up of 3
drives. I just have a few questions that I can't seem to find searching
around on Google, etc.
First question, what happens if one drive fails (I know I will loose the
data on that drive) but how, if at all can I recover the data on the
other drives can I plug them in (on their own) as though they were in
fact an individual drives? Do I need to execute a rebuild command in
mdadm at all to rebuild the array?
Second question, how can I go about adding a drive to my linear RAID, I
wish to add two new 500GB drives but I'm unsure how. I have found
howto's for RAID 5 but I just wanted to check it was a similar process
for Linear? Also this won't effect any data currently on the drive will it?
Thanks,
Richard
