I've 4 X 320GB Sata disks in Raid 5 (mdadm - v2.6.7.1 - 15th October 2008). They all have a 0xFD raid autodetect parition, filling 100% of the drives. One drive failed, and I bought a 500GB disk (instead of 320GB). Should I just add /dev/sde as-is, allowing mdadm to automatically rebuild it as required? Or, should I partition it to exact same dimensions/size as the other disks, with part-type 0xFD? TIA Felipe end
