Hi,
I'm thinking of slowly replacing disks in my raid5 array with bigger
disks and then resize the array to fill up the new disks. Is this
possible? Basically I would like to go from:
3 x 500gig RAID5 to 3 x 1tb RAID5, thereby going from 1tb to 2tb of
storage.
It seems like it should be, but...

Use mdadm instead. Raidtools is dangerous/unsafe, and is
not maintained for a long time already.

So I was trying to copy over some Indiana Jones wav files and it
wasn't going my way. I noticed that my software raid device showed:
/dev/md1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
Is this saying that it was remounted, read only because it found a
problem with the md1 meta device? That's what it

I found the problem. The power was unplugged from the drive. The
sata power connectors aren't very good at securing the connector. I
reattached the power connector to the sata drive and booted up. This
