Converting from Raid 5 to 6

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

 



At the moment i have a raid5 setup with 5 disks, i am looking to add a
6th disk and change from raid 5 to raid 6

having looked at Neil's site i have found the following command, and
just want to double check this is still the recommend way of
converting

mdadm --grow /dev/md0 --level=6 --raid-disks=6 --backup-file=/home/md.backup

also would i need to add the extra disk before or after the command?

cheers
