mdadm --grow --help shows --raid-disks= -n : Change the number of active devices in an array. : array. but the manpage uses: --raid-devices The latter should be preferred? Also, a --grow fails without a spare or --backup-file, however --backup-file is only in the manpage, not in the --help. That's pretty minor but useful. -- Jon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
