Hi, I added 3rd drive to 2-disk raid0 (with some issues like mdadm hung and all disks became spares) but now it looks like: md3 : active raid4 sda4[0] sdc4[3] sdb4[1] 1304305152 blocks super 1.2 level 4, 512k chunk, algorithm 5 [4/3] [UUU_] (/dev/sdc4 was added). I wonder what should be better to convert raid4 back to raid0 again: - mdadm -G -l 0 -n 0 /dev/md3 or - echo 0 > /sys/block/md3/md/level Which command doesn't start 'sync' process again? (I suspect that first one does) Regards, Alexander Afonyashin -- 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
