If I have a live raid and want to enable bitmap then I do mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --bitmap=internal Does this bitmap use space in the already present header? If so then does this mean that the headers have enough reserve for this? Why not always use the bitmap then? If it carves extra space from the device which already has data (e.g. a fs) then surely this will be problematic. -- Eyal Lebedinsky (eyal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) -- 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
