Topic: Additional Drives

[tak21]

Hi, first of all, I am new to SME Server (but I really love it  ).

I installed on 2x80 GB SATA disks. System is up and running.
In fact it is running so well, that I "retired" my old server.
I simply included the 4x200 GB HDD's into the new server.
After the system came up, the old raid 5 was detected (as md0).

Now (finally) the question: how can I integrate the "old" mdadm array?
How can I use the disk space? Would it be possible to get access on the data on the old array?

Tak,

  Take a look at these two documents in the wiki.  In fact, bookmark that  howto wiki (http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Howto) and look their for answer first, because the community here has done an admirable job building the wiki whenever a question belongs in an FAQ.

Hope this helps.
