Well, it has been 11 months since I last asked (http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg27676.html), and some recent patches mention this in the context of "imsm", whatever that is... So, is it possible to add a disk to a Linux md RAID-0 array and re-stripe? If so, what is the procedure and the required kernel/mdadm version(s)? If not, and if I want to contribute to an implementation effort, where would I begin? Thanks!
I think the capability is in mdadm 3.2, a developer-only release about 4 days ago, or it's in Neil Brown's 3.2 devel branch. Take a closer look at the list archives for the last few days.
As for using it, it'll be the usual syntax, e.g. `mdadm /dev/mdX --add /dev/newdisc; mdadm /dev/mdX --grow --raid-disks=3`.
Hope this helps. Cheers, John. -- 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
