Subject: Is it safe to shutdown while mdadm --grow is in progress.
Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2014 00:46:14 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <543A15A6.5010508@gmail.com> (raw)
I googled this topic and got differing answers. Some old ones report
horror stories and others suggest rebuild continues after reboot
normally. My array is rebuilding and it will take about 6 days to
complete. I am expecting bad weather in a couple of days and would like
to proactively shutdown the machine and reboot. Is this safe?
If the information is already available in a clear manner, please let me
know.

Thanks for your help
