Indead, LVM would be a good alternative to the growth capability of md anyway... Although I would prefer a pure md extension to the raid... Well, anyway, removing drives is (for me) a little out-of-topic, because the system will be entropic : loads of data will come in, none will get out... Removing a drive would only mean the drive is dead. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
