Hello,

Is it possible to grow Linux software RAID volumes after the initial 
deployment. For example can we have a RAID5 array with 3 drives and then add an 
extra drive later? Is the Linux software raid intelligent enough to move the 
blocks of data around to take advantage of the additional redundancy that we 
would have from 4 drives? 
I am guessing that if its possible it would be a two step process. One would be 
adding the drive into the software raid set. Then the second would be 
increasing the file systems size?

any feedback would be great.

Jimmy.
