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 -- 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
