replaced all drives with larger ones, increase raid size

    Hi everyone,


    I am using OMV on a HyperV server, i changed from horizontal to vertical position with an caddy. This action cost me all my drives, I replaced them with larger ones, today i replaced the last one. But the raid size is still the same size. Is there a posibility to increase the raid size to match the drive size?


    With regards,

    Rolf

    Unfortunately my crystal ball is offline and not able to access your system for the relevant information :)


    However, you could ssh into OMV and run mdadm --grow /dev/mdX --size=max where X is the reference of your array

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

    My guess is that your crystal ball works perfectly! It did the trick! The raid set is increased! A little resync and we are up and running! Thank You very much!:):)
