i've created an array, mdadm --create /dev/md5 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 checking, cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [linear] md5 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1] 341991616 blocks [2/2] [UU] bitmap: 0/164 pages [0KB], 1024KB chunk i realized that it defaulted to metadata type = 0.90. is it possible to _modify_ this array to use "super 1.x" metadata type, rather than the default 0.90? neither 'manage' or 'grow' modes seem to allow it, mdadm --manage --metadata=1.2 /dev/md5 mdadm:option --metadata not valid in manage mode mdadm --grow --metadata=1.2 /dev/md5 mdadm:option --metadata not valid in grow mode thanks. -- 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
