Subject: Resize on dirty array?
Date: Mon, 07 Aug 2006 20:36:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44D7DC93.2070905@net1plus.com> (raw)
I have a software raid 5 setup with four drives. One drive failed. I
got a replacement but unfortunately it turns out that my original disks
were just a few gigs over the replacement. It seems that most
manufacturers don't actually advertise the REAL capacity of the disk, so
getting one that is the same size as the old ones could be tough.(and
they aren't available anymore of course...)
So my question... can I resize the array while it is missing a drive?
The raid is <50% full, and the few gigs is only a few percent. In
retrospect I shouldn't have sized them right to the limit...
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
James
