Oki, trying on a new system...
/dev/md0 = /dev/hda3 /dev/hda4
Now I'd like to add /dev/hdb1 to the linear disk.
1. umount /dev/md0
2. stop raid
3. remove /etc/mdtab
4. mdcreate -c4k linear /dev/md0 /dev/hda3 /dev/hda4 /dev/hdb1
5. calculate sizes like this
man sfdisk:
List Sizes
sfdisk -s partition gives the size of partition in blocks.
This may be useful in connection with programs like mkswap
or so. Here partition is usually something like /dev/hda1
or /dev/sdb12, but may also be an entire disk, like
/dev/xda.
gw-air2net:~# sfdisk --show-size /dev/hda3
3903795
gw-air2net:~# sfdisk --show-size /dev/hda4
15743700
gw-air2net:~# sfdisk --show-size /dev/hdb1
10000431
3903795+15743700+10000431 = 29647926
6. start raid
gw-air2net:~# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0]
read_ahead 128 sectors
md0 : active linear hda3 hda4 hdb1 29647920 blocks 4k rounding
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
7. ext2resize /dev/md0 29647926
gw-air2net:~# ext2resize /dev/md0 29647926
ext2_resize_fs
ext2_resize_fs: your container (i.e. the file or partition
the filesystem) is in is not big enough for
a filesystem of 29647926 blocks (it's only
7411980 blocks)
direct hits 0 indirect hits 0 misses 0
(almost) exactly 4 times as small... What did I miss?
