Hi everybody, I was using two 500Go disks on raid1 setup. One of my disk died. I replace it with a bigger disk (600Go) and rebuilt raid. Then, the second 500Go disk died. I replace it also with a 600go disk and rebuilt raid. Now, I've two 600Go disk on my raid1 but size is always shrunk to 500Go. I made a mistake when creating RAID label on 600Go disks: It take entire disk.
I want to know if I can recover my lost 100Go... disklabel for sd0: a: 1172123505 63 RAID # (Cyl. 0*- 101045*) disklabel for sd1: a: 1172123505 63 RAID # (Cyl. 0*- 101045*) disklabel for raid0: d: 976772992 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 953879*) And raidframe message for shrinking: Warning: truncating spare disk /dev/sd1a to 976772992 blocks (from 1172123441) I read that changing raid size is not possible. But can I change label size for sd0a and sd1a to the same size as raid0d (from 1172123505 to 976772992), and then, can I use the recovered space for a second raid array ? Thank you. Best, jym
