So hwo do I now get it to rebuild successfully to give me a working full raid 5? I'm guessing it should be "mdadm --grow --raid-devices=3 --backup-file=whatever", but I think I've already tried that, and that's what got me into this mess :-) I'm trying to get access to the linux-raid wiki, so once I've got this working, and I've got the access, all this stuff is going to be written up and posted to the wiki :-) Cheers, Wol -- 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
