Hi,

I have done a software raid5 with 5 scci disks. Now I want to add one more disk to the current configuration without loosing data. But for some unkown reason the operation fails. Has anyone any idea why could I make this thing working ?

Thank you very much!


#raidreconf -o /etc/raidtab -n /etc/raidtab.new -m /dev/md0
Working with device /dev/md0
Parsing /etc/raidtab

Your on-disk array MUST be clean first.

At a guess, you still have /dev/md0 active.
Use "mdadm -S /dev/md0" or "raidstop /dev/md0" to stop it, then try
again.
