<pre class="k9mail"><br>Hi,<br><br>Last summer we added a new brick to our gluster volume (running <br>glusterfs 3.7.11). The new brick was a new server with with 12 of 24 <br>disk bays filled (we couldn't afford to fill them all at the time). <br>These 12 disks are managed in a hardware RAID-6. We have recently been <br>able to purchase another 12 disks. We would like to just add these new <br>disks to the existing hardware RAID and thus expand the size of the <br>brick. If we can successfully add them to the hardware RAID like this, <br>will gluster have any problems with the expanded brick size?<br><br>-- <hr>Pat Haley Email: phaley@mit.edu<br>Center for Ocean Engineering Phone: (617) 253-6824<br>Dept. of Mechanical Engineering Fax: (617) 253-8125<br>MIT, Room 5-213 <a href="http://web.mit.edu/phaley/www/">http://web.mit.edu/phaley/www/</a><br>77 Massachusetts Avenue<br>Cambridge, MA 02139-4301<hr>Gluster-users mailing list<br>Gluster-users@gluster.org<br><a href="https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users">https://lists.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users</a></pre></blockquote></div><br>-- <br>Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
