[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I've been thinking about this and I'm wondering if it is possible to do something like the following: I have an existing RAID5 volume, comprised of just 3 120GB disks. However, I've just bought three more 250GB disks that I also want to RAID5. I would still like a single volume, comprising the size of the two RAID5 volumes. Could this be possible through the use of RAID0? i.e. can I create a RAID0 volume from two RAID5 volumes? I understand this might sound a little odd but if it works it would be the ideal solution for me. I would also be interested in hearing how other people might have overcome this problem of growing a large RAID5 volume. Thanks a lot, -lewiz. -- I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -| msn:purple@lewiz.net | jabber:lewiz@jabber.org | url:www.lewiz.org |- [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAPf9yItq0KFQv7T8RAgCuAJ0ZiTqEH8/LIX4B7s8sL4FVor6gnwCgyZgg btZWwWVhKS8G0MFrsKODUv0= =Lrci -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
