EXPANDING ARRAY

[Xav0]

Hi all

I'm an expanding array of disks, and in this process, but I realized that the priority is low, if I switch to high, I can lose the array data that is expanding?

Yeah.. Its recommended not to change the priority when array is in rebuilding or expanding state

Never heard about such a problem. The current process might not even turn to a higher priority if the expansion code does not recheck the setting (I vague recall I've read such a claim for certain smartarray controllers some years ago)..
