hey all, Quick question... I've replaced and resync'd my root drives /dev/sda and /dev/sdb with 1TB drives up from the 250GB drives I started with. /boot and swap are fine as is, but I'd like the root mount "/" to use the max available. (as anyone would) My partition setup looks like: > Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes > 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors > Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes > Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes > I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes > Disk identifier: 0x0007868a > > Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/sda1 2048 8390655 4194304 fd Linux raid autodetect > /dev/sda2 * 8390656 9414655 512000 fd Linux raid autodetect > /dev/sda3 9414656 1953525167 972055256 fd Linux raid autodetect > > Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes > 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders, total 1953525168 sectors > Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes > Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes > I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes > Disk identifier: 0x000d707c > > Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/sdb1 2048 8390655 4194304 fd Linux raid autodetect > /dev/sdb2 * 8390656 9414655 512000 fd Linux raid autodetect > /dev/sdb3 9414656 1953525167 972055256 fd Linux raid autodetect > > Currently, the array I want to resize has: > [root@quantum ~]# mdadm --detail /dev/md1 > /dev/md1: > Version : 1.1 > Creation Time : Sat Jul 30 15:21:45 2011 > Raid Level : raid1 > Array Size : 239490048 (228.40 GiB 245.24 GB) > Used Dev Size : 239490048 (228.40 GiB 245.24 GB) > Raid Devices : 2 > Total Devices : 2 > Persistence : Superblock is persistent > > Update Time : Mon Jan 2 04:17:51 2017 > State : clean > Active Devices : 2 > Working Devices : 2 > Failed Devices : 0 > Spare Devices : 0 > > Name : localhost.localdomain:1 > UUID : 8d487d89:63690945:85c66cf4:e9885093 > Events : 161820 > > Number Major Minor RaidDevice State > 2 8 19 0 active sync /dev/sdb3 > 4 8 3 1 active sync /dev/sda3 When I reference https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Growing > mdadm --grow /dev/mdX --bitmap none > mdadm --grow /dev/mdX --size max > mdadm --wait /dev/mdX > mdadm --grow /dev/mdX --bitmap internal I get stuck at the --size max. it seems the correct syntax is "--size=" but that "max" is not supported as an argument. little help?
