I do raid1+0 (not raid10) and I do not see how that disqualifies me from pointing out that you have the wrong flags for the intended result. I also do raidz and will probably grow those arrays when support for that is added to OpenSolaris. Likewise, I have used 3ware and know the difference between using 3ware 750x/850x for raid5 and using 3ware boards that come with bbu caches. I have done software raid and hardware raid for clusters of servers for a sizable messaging service provider now owned by IBM. I do not know what makes you think that you can be so full of yourself to the point of thinking that you do not ever make mistakes. > > On Sep 27, 2009, at 7:02 PM, Christopher Chan wrote: > > >> aurfalien at gmail.com wrote: >> >>> so you're giving advice based on what you're read? >>> >>> >>> >> 1) You do not use --grow to add a device. >> >> 2) You do not use --add to grow a device >> >> 3) I did not give advice >> >> >> >>> know that my advice is stuff i've actually done. >>> >>> >> Oh no doubt.
