Subject: Add a spare to a poorly defined raid1
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:51:12 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F3BA338.6030204@cogweb.net> (raw)
Not knowing what I was doing, I created a RAID1 with a single drive and
a spare, as below.
I'd like to add the spare to the array. How do I do this without rebooting?
Cheers,
Dave
