Hi Folks,
I recently upgraded all four disks of a RAID5 array and then used mdadm
--grow to grow the raid array into the new bigger partitions available to
it and ran resize2fs. Lovely.
However, I've just tried this again on a similar machine and have grown the
array. However, I've just

Hi,
I've relatively recently started using md having had some bad experiences
with hardware raid controllers. I've had some really good experiences
(stepwise upgrading a 800GB raid5 array to 1.5TB one by exchanging disks
and using mdadm --grow), but am in the middle of a more worrying one. I
