Hi,
Debian 6.0.4 / superblock 1.2
sdc1 = 1.5 TB
sdd1 = 1.5 TB (cannot be used during --create, contains still data)
sde1 = 1 TB
sdf1 = 1 TB
sdg1 = 1 TB
Target: RADI5 with 4.5 TB capacity.
The normal case would be:
mdadm -C /dev/md3 --bitmap=internal -l 5 -n 5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1
/dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1
What I expect: since the first and the second drive are 1.5 TB size the
third fouth and fifth drive are treated like 2*1.5 TB, creating a 4.5 TB
RAID.
What would really be created: I know here are people that know and not
guess : ).
What my case actually is:
mdadm -C /dev/md3 --bitmap=internal -l 5 -n 5 /dev/sdc1 missing
/dev/sde1 /dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1
Expected: Still create a 4.5 TB since sdc1 is 1.5 TB, though sdd1 is yet
missing.
Will it work as expected?
Then format md3, and copy content of sdd1 (which is yet still /dev/md2)
into the raid, then --add /dev/sdd1 to the raid and wait until the
rebuild is done.
