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 :-)
Try without backup file (it shouldn't be needed when growing under these circumstances). If it doesn't start rebuilding after issuing --grow, try --continue when the array is actually up and running (don't stop it when it's "frozen" and says rebuilding but doesn't actually show any rebuilding going on). That has worked for others.
Use latest git version of mdadm. Please post output from all commands and dmesg if it still fails. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@xxxxxxxxx -- 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
