Solve : Raid 1, mirror?

Answer»

Hi,

I am out of space on the hard drives in a raid 1, mirror, array. Only two 36gb hard drives in this machine.

Can a raid 1, mirror array, be increased in size by substituting larger discs one at a TIME and ALLOWING the system to rebuild the array?

Some PEOPLE THINK it is possible. I have tried it and cannot get the array to show up any bigger. Perhaps I am doing something wrong. I substituted 1, 74gb drive at a time, allowing it to rebuild each time. After both drives were REBUILT, with 74gb on each of the new drives, the array is still only 36gb.

Help please. If it is not possible, I will have to reload all, I guess.

Kenny
