I have a 6 disk RAID5, I just added another disk, I plan to use the kernel
feature in 2.6.17 to "hot-add" an additional disk to the array (not a

maximum size it can support.  Has anyone used this or done this in Linux?

Several times.  Not a problem, as long as the filesystem is not mounted
at the time.


Cool, will give it a shot tomorrow, thanks.
