I have a system with two drives like this: / RAID1 on sda3 and sdb3 /boot RAID1 on sda1 and sdb1 I would like to migrate to / RAID6 on sdi3, sdj3 and sdh3 /boot RAID1 on sdi1, sdj1 and sdh1 The /boot already done. How would I do the migration to RAID6? The new drives i,j and h are larger then a and b, after the migration I will reshape the raid to use all the space on the new raid, unless it is possible to do it in one step. The reason I want RAID6 and not RAID1 with 3 drives is that later I may add more drives to the array. Currently I don't trust any RAID that has only one parity drive, it has to survive a failure of any two drives. So RAID6 or triple RAID1 are a minimum.
