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 not

(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 hav
