Hi, I'm basically trying to grow a RAID-6 array (5 disks). I did change the disks one by one (change, rebuild, ...). I finally did delete the last partition (the one I wanted to enlarge and recreated it with the exactly same start but different end). When I try to grow the array, I get: # mdadm --grow --size max /dev/md2 mdadm: component size of /dev/md2 has been set to 732458496K

If any of you can help me to sort this out It would be nice.
You need to tell mdadm the underlying devices have grown; do this by stopping the array then assembling it again with --update=devicesize. Then when you --grow --size max you will get the result you are looking for.
