Date: Mon, 22 May 2006 00:34:49 +0200 Message-ID: <200605220034.49858.Dexter.Filmore@gmx.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-raid.ids How will the raid5 resize in 2.6.17 be different from raidreconf? Will it be less risky to grow an array that way? Will it be possible to migrate raid5 to raid6? (And while talking of that: can I add for example two disks and grow *and* migrate to raid6 in one sweep or will I have to go raid6 and then add more disks?)
