Err, if you can dd the drives, why can't you create a new array and use xfsdump
or equivalent? Is downtime due to copying that bad?
I can only do 5 at a time. (10 slots, 5 source - 5 destination).
I'm not worried about the downtime so much as the constant swapping of disks. This way I can do it
in 2 or 3 blocks at most.
