I just hope I'll be given enough money for it, since it increases the cost per GB. Anyway I guess that it is preferable than a raid5 + 1 spare. By the way, not really a raid-oriented question, but what is the exact robustness of ext3 resizing ? I mean : what happens if the box crashes while resizing an ext3 ? This implies, of course, resizing capabilities for raid6, which is not implement yet. Is it ?
