I am probably being a bit thick here, but I am running 2.6.8 as per
http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-fs/mdadm
Does this imply that I already have these features.. as i am pretty sure i don't (unless it is undocumented)
I want to add 2 more drives to my array and grow it/reshape from raid 5 to 6...
