Convert RAID 5 to RAID 6 while reducing array size

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

 



Hi,
 I'm trying to convert a 6 device raid5 into a raid6. The 6th device was added into the Raid 5 by mistake instead of a grow operation to convert it into a RAID 6. As such the md device is not being used beyond the size that it had when it was a 5 device raid5.

Can this be done in a single grow step by specifying the reduced size (--array-size=xx) and new layout (l=6)? 

Thanks,
Anshu--
