Yes - I agree. I suggested something similar in an earlier post. Can't it be
done as an automatic response from rutgers majordomo when subscribing?

How do I add a new partition to an existing raid5 array?

ll not clear on is regardinq swap on a raid device. Does this mean
that you have to fdisk a raid device, create a new (sub) partition and tag it as swap?
