Dear all,
This is hopefully a simple question for you to answer, but I am fairly
new to RAID and don't want to risk losing my data!
My setup is as follows:
- I have four 500GB disks. Each disk is split into a 5GB partition, and
a 495GB partition.
- The four 5GB partitions are in a RAID-5 array, md0. CentOS is
installed on this 15GB partition.
- The four 495GB partiions are in a RAID-5 array, md1. This partition
holds my user data.
However, I have decided I no longer wish to two arrays across the disks.
I've added a fifth disk on which I have installed the OS without RAID,
meaning the old md0 is currently unused. Can I simply remove the four
5GB partitions, and resize the four 495GB partitions to fill the entire
disk? Will this break anything?
Before anybody tells me off for having the OS on a non-RAID disk, this
is a home server and therefore high availability is not an issue. But
keeping my data safe against disk failures is important to me.
Cheers,
Jonathan
