Please close; this was my mistake. I'll close the bug out, but in case someone searches and comes across this in the future, I'd also like to have the answer to your issue in the bug. From what I can tell above, I'm guessing that you had a 2 disk raid1 array, and doing an add is what wasn't working. In which case, I would say correct, the array has to be grown to a three disk raid1 array before you can add the new disk. I assume you did that (grew the array to a 3 disk raid 1 array) and then things worked fine. Different problem, actually. I had the kickstart.cfg file wrong, so sda2 & sdb2 were assigned to md3 and sda3 & sdb3 were assigned to md2. When I tried to assign an 8gb component to a 4gb mirror, it worked; when I tried to assign a 4gb component to an 8gb mirror, it failed (which was the correct response). |
