current situation: machine with 8 sata ports, currently 4 disks in raid5. new array is gonna be 5 disks. now the question is: pluck one drive, let the array degrade and move data as fast as possible to the new array? Or: build new array with 4 drivers, then pull old array and grow new array to 5 drives? -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a- C++++ UL++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?
