Re: Re-size RAID-10

Neil Hello
I will be grateful for your reply. Currently I am working on raid0
code reshape.
 1. Will you be working on this functionality in the near future ?
 2. Should I save the superblocks like mdadm does in the case of 1,4,5,6 ?
 3. What is the heuristics of strip_zones ? why do we need them ?

. non-power 2 raid0 chunk sizes.
 4. Other than segments masks issues, why isn't possible ? can't i fix raid0
  to support 3MB chunks with a segment of 1MB ?

Thank you

I think I asked this once before, if so I apologize for the redundancy -
but then again maybe something's changed...

I've got a RAID-10 array with four drives.  It's nearing capacity, and I
need to explore expansion options.  Can I simply add a pair of new
drives?  Or do I have to archive the information first and rebuild the
array from scratch?
It is not currently possible to resize a raid-10.
