Subject: Growing RAID-10 (near-2) array - which kernel needed?
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 19:31:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b906dbe55e09c7cf24abcacfbf97efed@kruemel.org> (raw)
Apologies for raising this topic again, but I can't seem to find
anything googling, and man mdadm doesn't also give me a clue. Which
kernel version is needed to grow a near-2 RAID 10 array?
I'm currently running kernel 3.13.0 with mdadm 3.2.5. But I could also
use a live CD with a newer kernel, if needed.
I have replaced the 4 disks here with larger ones (2TB drives -> 4 TB
drives), and this is what the array currently looks like:
# mdadm --detail /dev/md0
/dev/md0:
