I was more wondering about the feasibility of using dd to copy the drive contents to the larger drives (then I could do 5 at a time) and working it from there.
Err, if you can dd the drives, why can't you create a new array and use xfsdump or equivalent? Is downtime due to copying that bad?
I can only do 5 at a time. (10 slots, 5 source - 5 destination). I'm not worried about the downtime so much as the constant swapping of disks. This way I can do it in 2 or 3 blocks at most.
