Hi all I'd like to do an online resize for my RAID5 drives now that I've upgraded them to 500GB drives. Now I'm a bit stuck. I assume the steps would be the following.What exactly do you mean by "now that I've upgraded them to 500GB drives". Don't tell my you got new 500GB drives, created little partitions on them to match the old drives, and added those to the array. That is the wrong way around.
That sounds about the way I did it. Since the hdd were so much bigger than the original drives I managed tho fit all 6 partitions on 2 hdd. Then created a new raid and copied everything across. Deleted the 6 partitions and grew the raid to fit the next 2 hdd. Your way sounds easier.... -- Regards Wayne -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
