Hi all, I've two disks in RAID1 formatted with reiserfs which, in my system, has amazingly poor performance... I want to switch to ext3 and in a couple of kernel releases to upgrade to ext4. This is my plan: 1 - Remove one disk from the array 2 - Format the removed disk with ext3 filesystem 3 - Copy all the data from the degradeted RAID to the newly ext3-formatted disk 4 - Create a new degradeted RAID1 with the ext3 disk 5 - Modify grub and reconfigure mdadm to boot in the ext3 RAID1 disk. 6 - Reboot. 7 - Reformat the reiserfs disk 8 - Add the formatted disk to the ext3 RAID and start to syncing. Is there a more easy and failproof method? I'm a bit scared to lose same (or all) of my data during the process... Thank you for your help :P -- 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
