Subject: Grow a RAID-10
Date: Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:56:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <486BF974.70508@amfes.com> (raw)

I currently have a RAID10 across (4) SATA drives.  It looks like I'm 
going to need to grow in the near future.  Any tips for a procedure for 
this?  My current plan:

1.  Add a PCI SATA controller (MB had 4 SATA + 4 RAID SATA, it's a Tyan 
MB with a NFORCE chipset, I'm not sure if I want/can use the RAID SATA 
ports as plain SATA connections).

2.  Add 2 more drives - not necessarily the same size as the existing 
(they were all 4 the same)

3.  Execute "mdadm --grow /dev/md0"
