Can I expand my raid 5?
The volume group created on these disks is near to fill up.
I would know if it's possible to insert the fourth disk in the system to expand the raid an so the volume group.
Thanks.

Re: Can I expand my raid 5?
Since the ds2100 is a JBOD disk array, what kind of RAID controller is attached to it?

Re: Can I expand my raid 5?
I dont think it will work becuase the raid 5 group sort of stripes itself over the 3 disks you have in it and you cant just add a 4th on the fly - this is normally configured when you first bind/create the raid5 group. Extending an existing raid5 group is normally not possible without wiping the group and having to recreate it (losing your data).

Re: Can I expand my raid 5?
If it not is possible to extend the Raid-set witout recreating (and destroying data) it should be possible to create a new Raid-set and extend the volume group (without destroying any data). But this needs 3 (or more) extra disks.
