In the raidtools-package, there is a utility called raidreconf, which |
| 14 |
allows you to add new disks to a raid5 array. With mdadm (which is |
| 15 |
otherwise to be favoured, because it doesn´t rely on a configuration |
| 16 |
file), it is 'only' possible to add devices to a raid1 array - or to |
| 17 |
resize the partitions of a raid1/4/5/6 array accordingly (mdadm --grow) |
| 18 |
- alas, you´re right, documentation is very scanty and I cannot offer |
| 19 |
other sources of information as man-pages or sth. like: |

Everything of the above should also be possible with EVMS, but this |
| 23 |
requires a lot of reading, because they are using a different terminology |
