Anyway, yes, my question in the title is still the question. If, as I understand reading between the lines, that the mdadm conversion from RAID-1 to RAID-5 leaves me with a 250GB RAID-5 then how do I make it a 500GB RAID-5? My assumption right now is that mdadm won't change the partition sizing so what I need to do is just resize the filesystem and (I think) what I want are the right commands to run with something like resize2fs, where you check, then resize, then check again: e2fsck -f /dev/md6 resize2fs /dev/md6 e2fsck -f /dev/md6 However one site I found said to convert it to ext2 first - removing the journal - and then adding the journal back in later. - Mark
