Re: Hot-replace for RAID5

Hi Neil,

Doing an in-place reshape with the new 3.3 code should work, though with a
softer "should" than above.  We will only know that it is "stable" when enough
people (such as yourself) try it and report success.  If anything does go
wrong I would of course help you to put the array back together but I can
never guarantee no data loss.  You wouldn't be the first to test the code on
live data, but you would be the second that I have heard of.

I guess I'll be taking 2nd place then. I just used it on three live raid6 arrays, and it worked perfectly.

Thanks for your all your awesome work!
