Hello all, I have a raid5 softraid array using 6x320GB SATA drives. I would like to reconfigure it to be 3x1tb SATA. Is there a way to do this using the grow feature of mdadm. IE by swapping 3 of the 320GB drives out for the 3 1TB drives allowing the resyncs to occur between swapping and then somehow tell mdadm to take the remaining three 320GB drives out of the array or would I need to just create a new array somehow, copy the data over and just shut the first array right down?

There may be a way but it would be tricky, why not just move the data off to another 1-2TB host and then transfer it back via NFS or RSYNC?
