I am using LVM onto of this array. As for the other part of your question here is the output from mdadm --detail. I have 1 disk removed at the moment because I'm trying to reformat it with parted instead of fdisk to see if it makes a difference

How are you not seeing the increase in space (are you using df or mdadm --detail to get this information)?

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 _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying -- One thing you can be sure of.
