Subject: RAID-6 horizontal grow
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2009 23:54:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090410215435.GA10451@lazy.lzy> (raw)
Hi all,
is it possible to grow a RAID-6, not by adding
more drives, but by extending the partions which
are composing the array?
In other words, let's say I've "n" partitions of
"x" GB forming a RAID-6 array. After some time I
increase the size of each partition to "y" GB, of
course y > x.
Is it then possible to use the complete space
growing the array?
How?
Thanks,
bye,
