RAID5 growing after replacing 4x2TB with 4x4TB

  • Hi,


    I replaced each disk one by one and hit recover each time a disk was replaced. I have access to all the files. After that I used the command "mdadm --grow /dev/md127 --size=max" to grow the size. I'ts now showing 10.92TiB in Raid Management but it didn't reshape or grew the partitions/filesystems. If I hit resize in File Systems for one partition, nothing happens.


    I have two partitions:
    /dev/dm-0
    /dev/dm-1


    ignore /dev/sde1, it's an external usb HDD.



    Any advice? how can I resize the partition without loosing data?


    ps: I'm using HELIOS4



    thank you.

    You could try Gparted under OMV-Extras -> Kernel tab you can install GParted Live. I have stopped using a raid setup but why create 2 partitions, creating folders and using quotas would be just as effective.

    Raid is not a backup! Would you go skydiving without a parachute?

  • Hi,


    Thanks for your reply. I don't see any kernel tab under OMV-Extras. I'm running OMV under HELIOS4 board.


    edit: actually I just have one partition, I think. Its all under /dev/md127 in gparted (i installed xfce and gparted by command line) ad it's using all the space.
    The question is, how can I resize the filesystem labeled Media and Misc?
