Reuben,

What chunk size did you use?

I can't even get mine to get past this part:

p34:~# mdadm /dev/md3 --grow --raid-disks=7
mdadm: Need to backup 15360K of critical section..
mdadm: Cannot set device size/shape for /dev/md3: No space left on device

Justin.


Just whatever the system selected for the chunk size, ie I didn't specify it myself ;)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] cisco]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]

md0 : active raid1 sdc2[0] sda2[1]
      24410688 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      bitmap: 0/187 pages [0KB], 64KB chunk

md1 : active raid1 sdc3[0] sda3[1]
      19542944 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      bitmap: 0/150 pages [0KB], 64KB chunk

md2 : active raid1 sdc5[0] sda5[1]
      4891648 blocks [2/2] [UU]
      bitmap: 2/150 pages [8KB], 16KB chunk

I was working on md1 when I filed the email earlier.

I wonder if the chunk size is left as-is after a --grow, and if this is optimal or not or if this could lead to issues...
