I've been using a man page slightly older (2.5.6) than the mdadm binary I'm using (2.6.7), which doesn't mention update=devicesize, although I'd probably have missed it anyway! However, is there a way to do this without stopping the array first? I'm using it as an LVM PV and slicing it up into logical volumes which clients will be running off while I'm wanting to grow it.
