Expanding an array
I have expanded my RAID5 array... with one disk more...
After manay hours thge result seems to be OK!
But to finalize (complete) this I read on the documentation: "... select slicing, and merge the slices on the array vtaht you just expanded..."
When I do thant "Advanced->Slicing" and I select this operation... A warning say to me that this action erase the entire Array (not just the disk merged)...
Is this right?
NB: Before to do do an expansion, I have tell to my favoirite apple support "can I expand an array without looose data? The response was..
"
Modifying a RAID Array
Once a RAID array is established, you can expand it by adding one or more drives to it.
Expanding an array preserves the data on the original array. Be sure that your file
system supports expansion. See “Expanding an Array” on page 38 for details on
expanding an array.
