Oh I guess I should elaborate on that :-)
What happens is that the larger disks gets coerced into a smaller size.
So you lose the excess capacity at the end of the disk.
I am actually working on a raid concat that you can use to claim all
unused space and make it into a larger disk but my first p

Hijacking the thread a bit: Do all your disks need to be the same size

Hi there,
I am playing with softraid. So far it seems very good.
I have a 3 disk volume. If I remove one disk from the machine and
boot it up, this is the result:
---8<---
# dmesg | grep softraid0
softraid0 at root
softraid0: not assembling partial disk that used to be volume 0
# bioctl softrai
