Subject: Raid10 Reshape/Grow
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:55:18 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51676986.40303@gmail.com> (raw)
I recently watched Neil's LCA2013 video, and so was wondering if RAID10
reshape/grow is ever going to be implemented?
The way I see it, if we are adding pairs of disks to the RAID10 array
(not necessarily the same size as current disks, but the pair being the
same size), then we should be able to reshape to grow the RAID10.
From what I can see, the current options are to not use RAID10 if we
want to be able to expand later, or to use LVM over RAID1.
I'm obviously not expecting it to be in any distro's yet, but am just
wondering what the state of these features are. I have a mdadm git
checkout, and am willing to do testing to assist with this.
Thanks
Tim
