Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2007 12:42:00 +0200 Message-ID: <46960578.60000@wpkg.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Linux-Raid List-Id: linux-raid.ids I was wondering if "adding drives / growing RAID-10", similar to the same feature available for RAID-5, was ever contemplated by any of linux-raid developers? What would be needed, at least in theory, just to add one disk to RAID-10 array? I assume having to temporarily add "N * 2 + 1" drives (where N is the current number of drives in the array) just to add one drive to RAID-10 is the worst-case scenario. -- Tomasz Chmielewski
