RAID5 fill up?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I´ve got a software RAiD5 with 6 250GB HDs. Now I changed one disk after another to a 400GB HD and resynced the raid5 after each change. Now the RAID5 has got 6 400GB HDs and still uses only 6*250GB space. How can I grow the md0 device to use 6*400GB?
