Hi, I have two 1TB disks configured as a Linux software RAID1 array and mounted on /home. There is 385GB free space. I am about to get a new machine, which will come with a 1TB disk. After I've removed Windows Vista from this disk I would like to add it to the array. If I stay with RAID1, I'll gain some redundancy, but no extra storage space. That's cool, as I've still got that 385GB free space. I have another, smaller disk to hold the OS partitions. However, at some stage it might be better to configure the three disks as RAID5. Is it possible to convert a RAID1 array into a RAID5 array without loss of data. If not, it might be better to do the conversion now, while I can still find space to backup /home. I'd welcome some advice :) Bob -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.0, Kernel 2.6.25.18-0.2-default, KDE 3.5.10 Intel Celeron 2.53GHz, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
