Hey has anyone run into issues with trying to grow a Linux software raid? I’ve just finished syncing all of my data from 3x2TB (in raid 5) to 3x3TB (still raid 5). The raid array should show a capacity of approx. 5.5 TB, but instead shows only 4. I’ve tried re running the mdadm –grow command but with no success. Is there are a hard limit to the size of the array in Linux?
I should mention that each of these drives are formatted as GTP drives, with 1 partition of type FD that consumes the entire 2.79 TB of space on each drive. I’ve been using he instructions located at https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Growing#Expanding_existing_partitions if anyone is curious to what I’ve done so far
