From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Bill Davidsen Subject: Expandable raid Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2008 11:29:04 -0400 Message-ID: <48CBDC40.1010505@tmr.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Linux RAID List-Id: linux-raid.ids I am setting up a system with five drives. Initially two will be for the system and three for other uses. In about 4-6 weeks the three will be added to the original two. Thoughts on picking a raid config to make this easy? I would like to use raid-10, but I don't see a way to grow it. Kernel will be initially FC9 (whatever is shipping in the next few days), but a kernel.org 2.6.27 will be going in shortly in hopes that the changes to MTRR handling will allow a PAE kernel to use all of 8GB memory in 32 bit mode. -- Bill Davidsen "Woe unto the statesman who makes war without a reason that will still be valid when the war is over..."
