Full use of varying drive sizes?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey guys,

I have an array made of many drive sizes ranging from 500GB to 1TB and I appreciate that the array can only be a multiple of the smallest - I use the differing sizes as i just buy the best value drive at the time and hope that as i phase out the old drives I can '--grow' the array. That is all fine and dandy.

But could someone tell me, did I dream that there might one day be support to allow you to actually use that unused space in the array? Because that would be awesome! (if a little hairy re: spare drives - have to be the size of the largest drive in the array atleast..?) I have 3x500GB 2x750GB 1x1TB so I have 1TB of completely unused space!

Cheers.
