Hi,
I'm wondering what the latest is on migrating from RAID5 to RAID6.
I have a 6 disk RAID5 with 2 spares and have long been thinking of
making better use of the spares. All 200GB.
I have a 1TB drive that is serving as a backup, but I wonder if there's
a way to migrate without having to wipe the array.
Any advice?
Max.
