Greetings,
I didn't want to hijack Kevin's "Damage when growing RAID 5 array"
thread, but this got me thinking about my past experiences.
I'm preparing to add a disk to an existing RAID6.
In the past (more than one occasion) I've specified:
"--backup-file=/disk/not/part/of/array/md.bak" and then, after starting
the growth, I've gone to this path, and seen nothing created.
Is this a file that is created *only* in the event of an error /
failure? Should some data be written to this .bak file immediately? If
not, what could be preventing this file from being created?
Thanks for your input.
-EJ
